#### Memory Allocators

This project uses system (libc) memory allocator (Rust's default). But it also allows you to use other famous allocators by features:

- `jemalloc` - Uses [jemalloc](http://jemalloc.net/) as global memory allocator
- `mimalloc` - Uses [mi-malloc](https://microsoft.github.io/mimalloc/) as global memory allocator
- `tcmalloc` - Uses [TCMalloc](https://google.github.io/tcmalloc/overview.html) as global memory allocator. It tries to link system-wide tcmalloc by default, use vendored from source with `tcmalloc-vendored`.
- `snmalloc` - Uses [snmalloc](https://github.com/microsoft/snmalloc) as global memory allocator
- `rpmalloc` - Uses [rpmalloc](https://github.com/mjansson/rpmalloc) as global memory allocator

### **crates.io**

Install from [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/shadowsocks-rust):

```bash
# Install from crates.io
cargo install shadowsocks-rust
```

then you can find `sslocal` and `ssserver` in `$CARGO_HOME/bin`.

### **Install using Homebrew**

For macOS and Linux, you can install it using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):

```bash
brew install shadowsocks-rust
```

### **Download release**

Download static-linked build [here](https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-rust/releases).

- `build-windows`: Build for `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`
- `build-linux`: Build for `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`, Debian 9 (Stretch), GLIBC 2.18
- `build-docker`: Build for `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl`, `x86_64-pc-windows-gnu`, ... (statically linked)

### **Docker**

This project provided Docker images for the `linux/i386` and `linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64/v8` architectures.

#### Pull from GitHub Container Registry

Docker will pull the image of the appropriate architecture from our [GitHub Packages](https://github.com/orgs/shadowsocks/packages?repo_name=shadowsocks-rust).

```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/shadowsocks/sslocal-rust:latest
docker pull ghcr.io/shadowsocks/ssserver-rust:latest
```

#### Build on the local machine（Optional）

If you want to build the Docker image yourself, you need to use the [BuildX](https://docs.docker.com/buildx/working-with-buildx/).

```bash
docker buildx build -t shadowsocks/ssserver-rust:latest -t shadowsocks/ssserver-rust:v1.11.1 --target ssserver .
docker buildx build -t shadowsocks/sslocal-rust:latest -t shadowsocks/sslocal-rust:v1.11.1 --target sslocal .
```

#### Run the container

You need to mount the configuration file into the container and create an external port map for the container to connect to it.

```bash
docker run --name sslocal-rust \
  --restart always \
  -p 1080:1080/tcp \
  -v /path/to/config.json:/etc/shadowsocks-rust/config.json \
  -dit ghcr.io/shadowsocks/sslocal-rust:latest

docker run --name ssserver-rust \
  --restart always \
  -p 8388:8388/tcp \
  -p 8388:8388/udp \
  -v /path/to/config.json:/etc/shadowsocks-rust/config.json \
  -dit ghcr.io/shadowsocks/ssserver-rust:latest
```

### **Deploy to Kubernetes**

This project provided yaml manifests for deploying to Kubernetes.

You can leverage k8s Service to expose traffic outside, like LoadBalancer or NodePort which gains more fine-grained compared with fixed host or port.

For a more interesting use case, you can use a Ingress(Istio, nginx, etc.) which routes the matched traffic to shadowsocks along with the real web service.

#### Using `kubectl`

`kubectl apply -f https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-rust/raw/master/k8s/shadowsocks-rust.yaml`

You can change the config via editing the ConfigMap named `shadowsocks-rust`.

For more fine-grained control, use `helm`.

#### Using `helm`

`helm install my-release k8s/chart -f my-values.yaml`

Below is the common default values you can change:

```yaml
# This is the shadowsocks config which will be mount to /etc/shadowocks-rust.
# You can put arbitrary yaml here, and it will be translated to json before mounting.
servers:
- server: "::"
  server_port: 8388
  service_port: 80 # the k8s service port, default to server_port
  password: mypassword
  method: aes-256-gcm
  fast_open: true
  mode: tcp_and_udp
  # plugin: v2ray-plugin
  # plugin_opts: server;tls;host=github.com

# Whether to download v2ray and xray plugin.
downloadPlugins: false

# Name of the ConfigMap with config.json configuration for shadowsocks-rust. 
configMapName: ""

service:
  # Change to LoadBalancer if you are behind a cloud provider like aws, gce, or tke.
  type: ClusterIP

# Bind shadowsocks port port to host, i.e., we can use host:port to access shawdowsocks server.
hostPort: false

replicaCount: 1

image:
  repository: ghcr.io/shadowsocks/ssserver-rust
  pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
  # Overrides the image tag whose default is the chart appVersion.
  tag: "latest"
```

### **Build from source**

Use cargo to build. NOTE: **RAM >= 2GiB**

```bash
cargo build --release
```

Then `sslocal` and `ssserver` will appear in `./target/(debug|release)/`, it works similarly as the two binaries in the official ShadowSocks' implementation.

```bash
make install TARGET=release
```

Then `sslocal`, `ssserver`, `ssmanager` and `ssurl` will be installed to `/usr/local/bin` (variable PREFIX).

For Windows users, if you have encountered any problem in building, check and discuss in [#102](https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-rust/issues/102).

### **target-cpu optimization**

If you are building for your current CPU platform (for example, build and run on your personal computer), it is recommended to set `target-cpu=native` feature to let `rustc` generate and optimize code for the CPU running the compiler.

```bash
export RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native"
```

### **Build standalone binaries**

Requirements:

- Docker

```bash
./build/build-release
```

Then `sslocal`, `ssserver`, `ssmanager` and `ssurl` will be packaged in

- `./build/shadowsocks-${VERSION}-stable.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.xz`
- `./build/shadowsocks-${VERSION}-stable.x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.zip`

Read `Cargo.toml` for more details.

## Getting Started

Create a ShadowSocks' configuration file. Example

```jsonc
{
    "server": "my_server_ip",
    "server_port": 8388,
    "password": "mypassword",
    "method": "aes-256-gcm",
    // ONLY FOR `sslocal`
    // Delete these lines if you are running `ssserver` or `ssmanager`
    "local_address": "127.0.0.1",
    "local_port": 1080
}
```

Detailed explanation could be found in [shadowsocks' documentation](https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks/wiki).

In shadowsocks-rust, we also have an extended configuration file format, which is able to define more than one server. You can also disable individual servers.

```jsonc
{
    "servers": [
        {
            "address": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 8388,
            "password": "hello-world",
            "method": "aes-256-gcm",
            "timeout": 7200
        },
        {
            "address": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 8389,
            "password": "hello-kitty",
            "method": "chacha20-ietf-poly1305"
        },
        {
            "disabled": true,
            "address": "eg.disable.me",
            "port": 8390,
            "password": "hello-internet",
            "method": "chacha20-ietf-poly1305"
        }
    ],
    // ONLY FOR `sslocal`
    // Delete these lines if you are running `ssserver` or `ssmanager`
    "local_port": 1080,
    "local_address": "127.0.0.1"
}
```

`sslocal` automatically selects the best server with the lowest latency and the highest availability.

Start Shadowsocks client and server with:

```bash
sslocal -c config.json
ssserver -c config.json
```

If you Build it with Cargo:

```bash
cargo run --bin sslocal -- -c config.json
cargo run --bin ssserver -- -c config.json
```

List all available arguments with `-h`.

## Usage

Start local client with configuration file

```bash
# Read local client configuration from file
sslocal -c /path/to/shadowsocks.json
```

### Socks5 Local client

```bash
# Pass all parameters via command line
sslocal -b "127.0.0.1:1080" -s "[::1]:8388" -m "aes-256-gcm" -k "hello-kitty" --plugin "v2ray-plugin" --plugin-opts "server;tls;host=github.com"

# Pass server with SIP002 URL
sslocal -b "127.0.0.1:1080" --server-url "ss://YWVzLTI1Ni1nY206cGFzc3dvcmQ@127.0.0.1:8388/?plugin=v2ray-plugin%3Bserver%3Btls%3Bhost%3Dgithub.com"
```

### HTTP Local client

```bash
sslocal -b "127.0.0.1:3128" --protocol http -s "[::1]:8388" -m "aes-256-gcm" -k "hello-kitty"
```

All parameters are the same as Socks5 client, except `--protocol http`.

### Tunnel Local client

```bash
# Set 127.0.0.1:8080 as the target for forwarding to
sslocal --protocol tunnel -b "127.0.0.1:3128" -f "127.0.0.1:8080" -s "[::1]:8388" -m "aes-256-gcm" -k "hello-kitty"
```

- `--protocol tunnel` enables local client Tunnel mode
- `-f "127.0.0.1:8080` sets the tunnel target address

### Transparent Proxy Local client

**NOTE**: It currently only supports

- Linux (with `iptables` targets `REDIRECT` and `TPROXY`)
- BSDs (with `pf`), such as OS X 10.10+, FreeBSD, ...

```bash
sslocal -b "127.0.0.1:60080" --protocol redir -s "[::1]:8388" -m "aes-256-gcm" -k "hello-kitty" --tcp-redir "redirect" --udp-redir "tproxy"
```

Redirects connections with `iptables` configurations to the port that `sslocal` is listening on.

- `--protocol redir` enables local client Redir mode
- (optional) `--tcp-redir` sets TCP mode to `REDIRECT` (Linux)
- (optional) `--udp-redir` sets UDP mode to `TPROXY` (Linux)

### Tun interface client

**NOTE**: It currently only supports

- Linux, Android
- macOS, iOS

#### Linux

Create a Tun interface with name `tun0`

```bash
ip tuntap add mode tun tun0
ifconfig tun0 inet 10.255.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
```

Start `sslocal` with `--protocol tun` and binds to `tun0`

```bash
sslocal --protocol tun -s "[::1]:8388" -m "aes-256-gcm" -k "hello-kitty" --outbound-bind-interface lo0 --tun-interface-name tun0
```

#### macOS

```bash
sslocal --protocol tun -s "[::1]:8388" -m "aes-256-gcm" -k "hello-kitty" --outbound-bind-interface lo0 --tun-interface-address 10.255.0.1/24
```

It will create a Tun interface with address `10.255.0.1` and netmask `255.255.255.0`.

### Server

```bash
# Read server configuration from file
ssserver -c /path/to/shadowsocks.json

# Pass all parameters via command line
ssserver -s "[::]:8388" -m "aes-256-gcm" -k "hello-kitty" --plugin "v2ray-plugin" --plugin-opts "server;tls;host=github.com"
```

### Server Manager

Supported [Manage Multiple Users](https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks/wiki/Manage-Multiple-Users) API:

- `add` - Starts a server instance
- `remove` - Deletes an existing server instance
- `list` - Lists all current running servers
- `ping` - Lists all servers' statistic data

NOTE: `stat` command is not supported. Because servers are running in the same process with the manager itself.

```bash
# Start it just with --manager-address command line parameter
ssmanager --manager-address "127.0.0.1:6100"

# For *nix system, manager can bind to unix socket address
ssmanager --manager-address "/tmp/shadowsocks-manager.sock"

# You can also provide a configuration file
#
# `manager_address` key must be provided in the configuration file
ssmanager -c /path/to/shadowsocks.json

# Create one server by UDP
echo 'add: {"server_port":8388,"password":"hello-kitty"}' | nc -u '127.0.0.1' '6100'

# Close one server by unix socket
echo 'remove: {"server_port":8388}' | nc -Uu '/tmp/shadowsocks-manager.sock'
```

For manager UI, check more details in the [shadowsocks-manager](https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-manager) project.

Example configuration:

```jsonc
{
    // Required option
    // Address that ssmanager is listening on
    "manager_address": "127.0.0.1",
    "manager_port": 6100,

    // Or bind to a Unix Domain Socket
    "manager_address": "/tmp/shadowsocks-manager.sock",

    "servers": [
        // These servers will be started automatically when ssmanager is started
    ],

    // Outbound socket binds to this IP address
    // For choosing different network interface on the same machine
    "local_address": "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",

    // Other options that may be passed directly to new servers
}
```

## Configuration

```jsonc
{
    // LOCAL: Listen address. This is exactly the same as `locals[0]`
    // SERVER: Bind address for remote sockets, mostly used for choosing interface
    //         Don't set it if you don't know what's this for.

### SOCKS5 Authentication Configuration

The configuration file is set by `socks5_auth_config_path` in `locals`.

```jsonc
{
    // Password/Username Authentication (RFC1929)
    "password": {
        "users": [
            {
                "user_name": "USERNAME in UTF-8",
                "password": "PASSWORD in UTF-8"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

### Environment Variables

- `SS_SERVER_PASSWORD`: A default password for servers that created from command line argument (`--server-addr`)
- `SS_SYSTEM_DNS_RESOLVER_FORCE_BUILTIN`: `"system"` DNS resolver force use system's builtin (`getaddrinfo` in *NIX)

## Supported Ciphers

## ACL

`sslocal`, `ssserver`, and `ssmanager` support ACL file with syntax like [shadowsocks-libev](https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev). Some examples could be found in [here](https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev/tree/master/acl).

### Available sections

- For local servers (`sslocal`, `ssredir`, ...)
  - Modes:
    - `[bypass_all]` - ACL runs in `BlackList` mode. Bypasses all addresses that didn't match any rules.
    - `[proxy_all]` - ACL runs in `WhiteList` mode. Proxies all addresses that didn't match any rules.
  - Rules:
    - `[bypass_list]` - Rules for connecting directly
    - `[proxy_list]` - Rules for connecting through proxies
- For remote servers (`ssserver`)
  - Modes:
    - `[reject_all]` - ACL runs in `BlackList` mode. Rejects all clients that didn't match any rules.
    - `[accept_all]` - ACL runs in `WhiteList` mode. Accepts all clients that didn't match any rules.
  - Rules:
    - `[white_list]` - Rules for accepted clients
    - `[black_list]` - Rules for rejected clients
    - `[outbound_block_list]` - Rules for blocking outbound addresses.

### Example

```ini
# SERVERS
# For ssserver, accepts requests from all clients by default
[accept_all]

# Blocks these clients
[black_list]
1.2.3.4
127.0.0.1/8

# Disallow these outbound addresses
[outbound_block_list]
127.0.0.1/8
::1
# Using regular expression
^[a-z]{5}\.baidu\.com
# Match exactly
|baidu.com
# Match with subdomains
||google.com
# An internationalized domain name should be converted to punycode
# |☃-⌘.com - WRONG
|xn----dqo34k.com
# ||джpумлатест.bрфa - WRONG
||xn--p-8sbkgc5ag7bhce.xn--ba-lmcq

# CLIENTS
# For sslocal, ..., bypasses all targets by default
[bypass_all]

# Proxy these addresses
[proxy_list]
||google.com
8.8.8.8
```

## Useful Tools

1. `ssurl` is for encoding and decoding ShadowSocks URLs (SIP002). Example:

  ```plain
  ss://YWVzLTI1Ni1jZmI6cGFzc3dvcmQ@127.0.0.1:8388/?plugin=obfs-local%3Bobfs%3Dhttp%3Bobfs-host%3Dwww.baidu.com
  ```
