About:
Shadowsocks-rust is a Rust implementation of the Shadowsocks secure SOCKS5 proxy protocol. It provides a high-performance, memory-safe way to bypass internet censorship and encrypt traffic between clients and servers. The project includes both client and server components, offering a lightweight and efficient alternative to the original Python implementation.
Key Features:
  • High-performance implementation in Rust
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows, BSD)
  • Supports multiple encryption methods (AEAD, AES, ChaCha20)
  • Includes client, server, and local socks5 relay
  • Low memory footprint and efficient CPU usage
Use Cases:
  • Bypassing network censorship and firewalls
  • Securing network traffic on untrusted networks
  • Building custom VPN and proxy solutions
  • Accessing geo-restricted content
Alternatives:
  • shadowsocks-libev – C implementation, more lightweight but potentially less memory-safe than Rust version
  • v2ray – More feature-rich with additional protocols, but also more complex to configure
