In this guide you will set up a Shadowsocks server on your Packetra VPS using shadowsocks-rust, the actively maintained implementation, with the modern Shadowsocks 2022 cipher. It takes about fifteen minutes.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-ht-blocks-messages wp-block-hb-message wp-block-hb-message--withicon is-style-alert\">This article assumes you are already logged into your VPS\/Dedicated Server.

Then feel free to proceed to follow the how-to guide below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading step-heading\">When to use a Shadowsocks server<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Shadowsocks server is a good choice for getting past moderate filtering, and it is light enough for the smallest VPS. Be aware of its limits: since November 2021, China&#8217;s Great Firewall has detected and blocked traffic that looks fully encrypted, which includes plain Shadowsocks. Shadowsocks 2022 adds mandatory replay protection, which makes your server reject captured Shadowsocks handshakes if they are replayed, but it does not hide Shadowsocks from traffic analysis. On heavily filtered networks, run it alongside a second protocol, such as our <a href=\"https:\/\/packetra.com\/knowledgebase\/kb\/how-to-vpn-setup-amneziawg-censorship-resistant-wireguard-tunnel\/\"><strong>AmneziaWG tunnel<\/strong><\/a>, so one can take over when the other is blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Run every command in this guide as root. If you log in with your cloud username, switch to root first with <code>sudo -i<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading step-heading\">Install the requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You only need a few basic tools to download and unpack the release. Use the command for your operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ubuntu and Debian<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>apt update\napt install -y curl xz-utils<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AlmaLinux<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>dnf install -y curl tar xz<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading step-heading\">Download shadowsocks-rust<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This finds the latest release on GitHub, downloads it with its checksum, verifies the file and unpacks the programs into <code>\/usr\/local\/bin<\/code>. The commands are the same on Ubuntu, Debian and AlmaLinux, and they are for x86-64 servers, which includes every Packetra VPS and dedicated server. If you run them elsewhere, <code>uname -m<\/code> must print <strong>x86_64<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># Find the latest version\nVER=$(curl -s https:\/\/api.github.com\/repos\/shadowsocks\/shadowsocks-rust\/releases\/latest | grep -o '\"tag_name\": *\"[^\"]*\"' | head -1 | cut -d '\"' -f4)\necho $VER\n\n# Download the release and its checksum\ncd \/tmp\ncurl -LO \"https:\/\/github.com\/shadowsocks\/shadowsocks-rust\/releases\/download\/${VER}\/shadowsocks-${VER}.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.xz\"\ncurl -LO \"https:\/\/github.com\/shadowsocks\/shadowsocks-rust\/releases\/download\/${VER}\/shadowsocks-${VER}.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.xz.sha256\"\n\n# Verify the download, then install\nsha256sum -c \"shadowsocks-${VER}.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.xz.sha256\"\ntar -xJf \"shadowsocks-${VER}.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.xz\" -C \/usr\/local\/bin --no-same-owner\n\n# If this prints a version number, the install worked\nssserver --version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The checksum line must end in <strong>OK<\/strong>. If it does not, delete the files and download them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading step-heading\">Check the server clock<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shadowsocks 2022 rejects connections when the server and client clocks are more than 30 seconds apart, so the server&#8217;s clock must be synchronised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>timedatectl<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look for <strong>System clock synchronized: yes<\/strong>. If it says no, install a time service: <code>apt install -y chrony<\/code> on Ubuntu and Debian, or <code>dnf install -y chrony &amp;&amp; systemctl enable --now chronyd<\/code> on AlmaLinux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading step-heading\">Generate your key<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shadowsocks 2022 does not use an ordinary password. It needs a random key of an exact length, and shadowsocks-rust can generate one for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>KEY=$(ssservice genkey -m \"2022-blake3-aes-256-gcm\")\necho $KEY<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Copy the key somewhere safe. You will need it for the client, and anyone who has it can use your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading step-heading\">Write the server configuration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This creates the configuration file with your key already filled in. It listens on port 443, because networks commonly allow outbound TCP traffic on that port. That does not make Shadowsocks look like HTTPS or keep it from being detected, and some networks still block UDP on port 443. If a web server already uses port 443 on this machine, choose another port and use it in every later step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>mkdir -p \/etc\/shadowsocks-rust\ncat &gt; \/etc\/shadowsocks-rust\/config.json &lt;&lt;EOF\n{\n    \"server\": \"0.0.0.0\",\n    \"server_port\": 443,\n    \"password\": \"$KEY\",\n    \"method\": \"2022-blake3-aes-256-gcm\",\n    \"mode\": \"tcp_and_udp\",\n    \"timeout\": 7200\n}\nEOF\ncat \/etc\/shadowsocks-rust\/config.json<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check that the <strong>password<\/strong> line shows your key. If it is empty, your session lost the <code>KEY<\/code> value: run the key command again and repeat this step. To accept IPv6 connections as well, change <code>\"0.0.0.0\"<\/code> to <code>\"::\"<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading step-heading\">Run it as a service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, create a dedicated user so the server does not run as root, then a service file so it starts automatically at boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># A system user with no login and no home directory\nuseradd --system --user-group --no-create-home --shell \/usr\/sbin\/nologin shadowsocks\nchown root:shadowsocks \/etc\/shadowsocks-rust\/config.json\nchmod 640 \/etc\/shadowsocks-rust\/config.json\n\n# The service file\ncat &gt; \/etc\/systemd\/system\/shadowsocks-rust.service &lt;&lt;'EOF'\n&#91;Unit]\nDescription=Shadowsocks-rust server\nAfter=network-online.target\nWants=network-online.target\n\n&#91;Service]\nType=simple\nUser=shadowsocks\nGroup=shadowsocks\nAmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE\nCapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE\nNoNewPrivileges=yes\nExecStart=\/usr\/local\/bin\/ssserver -c \/etc\/shadowsocks-rust\/config.json\nRestart=on-failure\n\n&#91;Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target\nEOF\n\n# Start it now and at every boot\nsystemctl daemon-reload\nsystemctl enable --now shadowsocks-rust\nsystemctl status shadowsocks-rust --no-pager<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The status should show <strong>active (running)<\/strong>. If it does not, <code>journalctl -u shadowsocks-rust -n 50<\/code> shows why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading step-heading\">Open the port in your firewall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only needed if a firewall is active on the server. Shadowsocks uses both TCP and UDP, so open both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ubuntu and Debian with ufw<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>ufw allow 443\/tcp\nufw allow 443\/udp<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AlmaLinux with firewalld<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443\/tcp\nfirewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443\/udp\nfirewall-cmd --reload<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading step-heading\">Set up the client<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your client app must support the Shadowsocks 2022 cipher. These do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Android:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/shadowsocks\/shadowsocks-android\/releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>shadowsocks-android<\/strong><\/a>, version 5.3.3 or later<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Windows, macOS and Linux:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/2dust\/v2rayN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>v2rayN<\/strong><\/a>, which runs Shadowsocks through its sing-box or Xray core<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Command line on Linux and macOS:<\/strong> <code>sslocal<\/code>, from the same shadowsocks-rust download<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>iOS:<\/strong> check that the app lists <code>2022-blake3-aes-256-gcm<\/code> among its ciphers before you install or buy it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add a new Shadowsocks server in the app with these settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Server:     YOUR_PUBLIC_IP\nPort:       443\nPassword:   YOUR_KEY\nEncryption: 2022-blake3-aes-256-gcm<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To use <code>sslocal<\/code> instead, run the command below on your own computer. It opens a SOCKS5 proxy on port 1080 that you can point your browser or other apps at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sslocal -b 127.0.0.1:1080 -s YOUR_PUBLIC_IP:443 -m \"2022-blake3-aes-256-gcm\" -k \"YOUR_KEY\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Older Shadowsocks clients may not list the 2022 cipher. If yours does not, switch to one of the apps above rather than downgrading the server to an older cipher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading step-heading\">Verify the connection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Connect in your client app, then open a site like <a href=\"https:\/\/whatismyipaddress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>WhatIsMyIpAddress<\/strong><\/a>. It should show your server&#8217;s IP address, not your own. If you use <code>sslocal<\/code>, you can test from the same computer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:1080 https:\/\/ifconfig.me<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the server, <code>journalctl -u shadowsocks-rust -f<\/code> shows the service log live while you connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading step-heading\">Final Words<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You now have a Shadowsocks server running the 2022 cipher as an unprivileged system service that starts at boot. It is fast, light and simple to share with a few people. It is not invisible to the most aggressive filters, so where censorship is severe, keep a second protocol such as AmneziaWG ready and see our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/packetra.com\/articles\/censorship-resistant-hosting\"><strong>censorship-resistant hosting<\/strong><\/a> for the wider picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-ht-blocks-messages wp-block-hb-message wp-block-hb-message--withicon is-style-info\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><br><br><strong>Why Shadowsocks 2022 instead of the older ciphers?<\/strong><br>The 2022 edition uses a proper random key instead of a password, adds protection against replayed traffic, and was designed to fix weaknesses that let censors probe older Shadowsocks servers. Use it unless a client you cannot replace does not support it.<br><br><strong>My client won&#8217;t connect and there&#8217;s no clear error. What&#8217;s wrong?<\/strong><br>Check four things in this order: the key and the cipher must match the server exactly, the server and client clocks must be within 30 seconds of each other, the port must be open for both TCP and UDP, and the service must be running. Then look at <code>journalctl -u shadowsocks-rust -n 50<\/code> on the server.<br><br><strong>Will a Shadowsocks server work in China, Iran or Russia?<\/strong><br>Sometimes, and it varies by country, ISP and network. Plain Shadowsocks can be detected or blocked on heavily filtered networks, so do not rely on it as your only connection method, and test from the network you care about.<br><br><strong>Shadowsocks or AmneziaWG?<\/strong><br>Both. Shadowsocks works per app as a proxy and is very light, while AmneziaWG is a full tunnel for the whole device. Running both on one server gives you a fallback when one gets blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-ht-blocks-messages wp-block-hb-message wp-block-hb-message--withicon is-style-success\"><strong>Good to Know<\/strong><br>Your key is the authentication secret for your Shadowsocks server, so keep it private and generate a new one if it leaks: run the key command again, put the new key in <code>\/etc\/shadowsocks-rust\/config.json<\/code>, then <code>systemctl restart shadowsocks-rust<\/code> and update your clients. Check for new shadowsocks-rust releases now and then and repeat the download step to upgrade, followed by a restart. Run into any issues?
