What is Shadowsocks?

Shadowsocks is an open-source proxy project built with the intention of circumventing internet censorship.

Advantages of Shadowsocks

The Shadowsocks proxy makes it difficult for firewalls to differantiate the internet traffic, which makes it a popular choice for users located in countries that censor internet traffic. In addition, it's high performing and has support for new ciphers.

Why combine Shadowsocks with a VPN?

Although Shadowsocks may allow you to slip past censors, using it together with a VPN keeps your browsing private and anonymous.
