ethvpn

The package for running a VPN connection with ShadowSocks via Ethereum.

Usage: server

There are many versions/forks of Shadowsocks. For this project, specific ones are required. You must get exactly these:

  1. shadowsocks-libev
  2. shadowsocks-manager

Then one can run run_ss-manager which runs ss-manager which runs ss-server. Then you use edit_ss.py to add/remove accounts from the ss-server.

Usage: client

As far as we know clients can use any version of Shadowsocks, but the recommended one is shadowsocks-libev. Then from your server you'll need:

  1. The server IP address
  2. The server's encryption method
  3. Your personal port and personal password

Then from the terminal (or using a GUI like ShadowsocksX-NG), type:

$ ss-local -s SERVER_IP -m SERVER_ENCRYPTION_METHOD -p YOUR_PORT -k YOUR_PASSWORD -l 1337

The -l 1337 can be any local port of your choice. Then, while ss-local is running, you open your operating system's proxy setting and specify a SOCKS5 proxy on IP address 127.0.0.1 (localhost) using local port 1337. No username and password.

And Voila. You're done.
