    Again? How many times will the police show up before they stop asking?

    I believe that it's been 4 times so far =)

  • At least they didn't take all his electronics and arrest him.

    Thanked by 1linuxthefish
  • I hope he continues to contribute to the clone anonymously :p

    AFAIK this is not recent news? The article is from August when police visited the original developer.

    No one has been maintaining the project since then.

    The guy who is developing Android console is still working on...

    The SS project: a new console known as SSR appears, the developer is a young girl.

    I like these two words, in one sentence XD

  • I can't understand why you need shadowsocks & goagent these stuffs when bitvise is free for use and it's easier then ss & goa

  • Hum, why would that be better than, let say ssh as a socks proxy?

    it has multi socket connections, the Chinese can throttle ssh speed down to it being useless.
    The fact that they took the unusual step of actually going to his house to stop him, meant
    their technically could not.

    Pity shadowvpn didn't get finished, it was also suppose to be multi socket.

    Why not use your power to force out one competitor out of the avoid the censorship arms race? More resources for the arms race against the the guys outside china e.g. the TOR Project.

    I think these are the 2 main differences:

    Bleeding edge techniques using Asynchronous I/O and Event-driven programming.

    And :

    Flexible Encryption. Secured with industry level encryption algorithm. Flexible to support custom algorithms.

    SSH has encryption but I don't think its very customizable, or not that easy as shadowsocks at least.

    Does anyone have one with a full git history?

    EDIT: Full authoritative in the master branch.

    EDIT 2: I forked in case they wipe history. https://github.com/rallias/shadowsocks I've got a local backup aswell.

    Because ssh protocol is effectively dead in China. Small traffic is fine, but for large traffic, dead.

    I'm not sure that's the reason this thread is here. More about china's censoring of even this

    Thanks for this

  • SS-libdev is a better fork, more powerful.

    really? may be it's dead in your area, but it's not dead here in Shandong

  • Is there a fork which continues the development of ss? There are so many forks right now, Github is unable to display the fork graph.

    Shadowsocks-rss, this is that young girl's project...

    Try harder and you will eventually find out.
