About:
Shadowsocks-libev is a lightweight, secure SOCKS5 proxy implementation designed for low-end devices and servers. It encrypts traffic to bypass network censorship and restrictions efficiently. Its minimal resource usage makes it ideal for routers and embedded systems.
Key Features:

  • Strong encryption support (AES, ChaCha20, etc.)
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Asynchronous I/O for high performance
Use Cases:
  • Bypassing internet censorship and firewalls
  • Securing traffic on untrusted networks
  • Running secure proxies on low-resource devices
Alternatives:
  • shadowsocks-rust – Rust implementation with similar features but different performance characteristics
  • v2ray – More complex, feature-rich proxy platform with additional protocols
