What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A simple obfuscation plugin for Shadowsocks that disguises proxy traffic as ordinary HTTP or TLS traffic. It is deprecated and succeeded by v2ray-plugin.

Use cases

  • obfuscate shadowsocks traffic as http or tls
  • bypass dpi censorship of proxy traffic
  • run shadowsocks alongside a real web server on port 80/443
  • disguise proxy connections to look like normal web browsing

When to choose

  • you maintain a legacy shadowsocks setup already using simple-obfs
  • you need minimal http/tls obfuscation on an old deployment

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - use v2ray-plugin instead
  • you need actively maintained or updated obfuscation
  • you need modern censorship resistance against advanced DPI
