Introducing Shadowsocks Rust: A Fast Tunnel Proxy for Bypassing Firewalls.

Now, let’s be real here, nobody wants to read through boring technical jargon and complicated instructions just to set up some proxy thingy. That’s why we’re going to keep this simple and casual. No need to break out the textbook or hire a professional hacker (unless you want to).

First, what Shadowsocks Rust is all about. Essentially, it’s a fast tunnel proxy that helps you bypass firewalls. But why choose Shadowsocks Rust over other options out there? Well, for starters, it supports HTTP Proxy protocol and AEAD ciphers (which are proposed in SIP004). It also allows you to choose your server based on delay and manage multiple users with ACLs.

Now that we’ve got the basics down, how to actually set it up. First, head over to [NixOS](https://img.shields.io/badge/NixOS-shadowsocks–rust-blue?logo=nixos) or [snap shadowsocks-rust](https://snapcraft.io/shadowsocks-rust/badge.svg), depending on your preference, and download the package.

Once you’ve got that installed, it’s time to configure Shadowsocks Rust according to your needs. You can do this by editing the configuration file (which is located in `~/.config/shadowsocks-rust`). Here are some of the options available:

– `local-http` Allows using HTTP protocol for `sslocal`.

– `local-tunnel` Allows using tunnel protocol for `sslocal`.

– `local-socks4` Allows using SOCKS4/4a protocol for `sslocal`.

– `local-redir` Allows using redir (transparent proxy) protocol for `sslocal`.

– `local-dns` Allows using dns protocol for `sslocal`, serves as a DNS server proxying queries to local or remote DNS servers by ACL rules.

– `local-tun` Enables TUN interface support for `sslocal`.

– `stream-cipher` Enables deprecated stream ciphers (WARNING: stream ciphers are UNSAFE!).

Now, some of the other features that Shadowsocks Rust has to offer. For example, it supports HTTPS with both `native-tls` and `rustls`. It also allows you to manage multiple users using ACLs (Access Control Lists), which is super handy if you have a lot of people trying to access your network.

In terms of performance, Shadowsocks Rust is pretty ***** fast! According to their website, it can handle up to 10 Gbps on a single core and has low CPU usage (around 5%). That’s pretty impressive if you ask me!
