Speaking of "scientific Internet access", it is really admirable for the perseverance and creativity of Chinese people. The word "scientific Internet" can be understood slowly. Today, the author of fqrouter on twitter published an announcement about service closure. Among the most popular scientific Internet software in 2014 selected by netizens, fqrouter ranked first in total and second in effect, second only to shadowsocks. fq is a very good Android APP, clean, Clean, useful, and fast. It is a pity that the service cannot be provided.
The close of fq has turned our friends to shadowsocks. What is shadowsocks? How can we use it for scientific Internet access? Today, no child GE will write this small article to talk to you.
What is Shadowsocks?
Shadowsocks is essentially a socks5 proxy service, similar to an ssh proxy. Unlike the global proxy of vpn, shadowsocks is only for browser proxy and cannot be used for agent applications, such as youtube or twitter client software. If you compare a vpn to a dragon knife, shadowsocks is a Swiss Army knife, which is lightweight and convenient, but has powerful functions.
If you use the ss, run a small program in the background, and then click switch to switch the SS network in the browser. Switch back when you don't need it. This is also a lightweight place.
How to use shadowsocks?

Mac OSX Platform & uarr;
Download the client program under mac first (Baidu online disk download, the subsequent process is the same as win, it can be used through chrome plug-in, no longer described.
IOS platform & uarr;
Directly search for and download shadowsocks in the appstore (safari directly downloads the shadowsocks). After the app is opened, it is a browser with a built-in public server. You can directly enter the URL to open youtube. Of course, sometimes the public server may be unstable. You can set your own server to use it in the same way as windows.
Android Platform & uarr;
The software under Android is called"
Tissot"(GooglePlay download), you can search for and download in googleplay. Its function is basically the same as that of IOS. There is no built-in browser. Open the configured server and open the browser.
How to build your own shadowsocks Service & uarr;
If you have a foreign buddy, you can also build a server for you, or you have rented your own server (VPS) in a foreign machine room, the following method, it allows you to build a shadowsocks server for your own use, so you don't have to hit the wall with science programmers like other crazy dogs.
The following describes how to install shadowsocks on CentOS6.
Centos6 install shadowsocks lightweight server transfer package transfer (proxy) tool
Step 1: install openssl-devel
|
# Yum install openssl-devel
|
Step 2: install the make command
|
Make is the gcc compiler. It must be installed when VPS is purchased. Since the centos system is installed to a minimal extent on the server, we need to install the make command on our own.
Installation:
# Yum-y install gcc automake autoconf libtool make
Install g ++:
# Yum-y install gcc-c ++
|
Step 3: install the git command
|
# Yum-y install git
[Final View version: git -- version]
|
Step 4: download the source code package, compile and install the package
|
# Git clone https://github.com/madeye/shadowsocks-libev.git
# Cd shadowsocks-libev
#./Configure
# Make & make install
|
Step 5: Add a firewall rule (optional) if a firewall is installed. I have not done this step)
|
# Iptables-I INPUT-p tcp-m tcp -- dport 8123-j ACCEPT # add the rule, and the port number is
# Service iptables save # save
# Iptables-L-n # View iptables rules
|
Step 6: start shadowsocks
|
Nohup ss-server-s ipaddress-p port-k password &
Note: ipaddress is the IP address of the vps space, port is the port number, and password is the password.

The only pity is, how can I automatically start shadowsocks after the server is restarted? If you know the method, leave a message below.
After completing the steps above, your centos is a shadowsocks transfer station, and then you can use the method mentioned in the second section on your windows computer to scientifically access the Internet cafe.
