A Python port of ShadowsocksR, a fast encrypted tunnel proxy that helps users bypass firewalls and censorship. It provides a command-line server (ssserver) that works with GUI clients on Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and OpenWRT.

Use cases

• bypass firewalls and internet censorship
• run an encrypted proxy server on a VPS
• tunnel traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy
• set up a self-hosted shadowsocks server
• circumvent the Great Firewall
• encrypt network traffic to evade DPI

When to choose

• you need a lightweight Python-based proxy server you can deploy on any Linux server
• you want the ShadowsocksR protocol with its additional obfuscation features
• you prefer a simple CLI server paired with existing GUI clients

When to avoid

• you need a modern, actively maintained implementation - consider shadowsocks-rust or sing-box instead
• you want a GUI application rather than a command-line server
• you need protocols beyond ShadowsocksR such as VLESS or Trojan
