Shadowsocks for Windows is a C# implementation of the Shadowsocks proxy client. It provides system proxy configuration, PAC mode, and support for plugins on Windows.

Use cases

  • bypass internet censorship using a SOCKS5 proxy on Windows
  • configure system-wide proxy settings for all applications
  • automatically switch between multiple Shadowsocks servers for reliability
  • use PAC rules to route Chinese domains directly and proxy others
  • run a local HTTP proxy for browser traffic

When to choose

  • you need a native Windows GUI client for Shadowsocks
  • you prefer a .NET based implementation with system proxy integration
  • you want built‑in PAC support and server auto‑switching

When to avoid

  • you are looking for a cross‑platform command‑line client
  • you need a lightweight library to embed Shadowsocks in another application
  • your environment is not Windows or does not support .NET Framework
