About:
ShadowsocksX is a lightweight proxy client designed to bypass internet censorship and firewalls. It implements the Shadowsocks protocol to create an encrypted SOCKS5 tunnel, securely routing your traffic through a remote server. This tool helps users access restricted websites and services while protecting their network privacy.
Key Features:
  • Encrypted SOCKS5 proxy tunneling
  • System-wide proxy configuration
  • Server management interface
  • Automatic PAC proxy configuration
Use Cases:
  • Bypassing network censorship and firewalls
  • Securing network traffic on untrusted networks
  • Accessing region-restricted content
Alternatives:
  • V2Ray – More complex with advanced routing features, but steeper learning curve
  • ClashX – Multi-protocol support with rule-based routing, more actively maintained
