Setup shawdowsocks server using google cloud console

shadowsocks with mac os and ios

Setup your google cloud console and create an instance in google cloud console

create the instance also known as virtual machine. I am using linux Debian for this tutorial

Here is the instance we just created. Take note of the internal id and the external id. we will use both

We have to make a change to the google firewall for shadowsocks to connect

copy my setting that I have in this photo. This is very important for shadowsocks to work.

Here we select the SSH button on it opens up SSH

type in these commands to install shadowsocks sudo apt update sudo apt install shadowsocks-libev

sudo vim /etc/shadowsocks-libev/config.json

Edit the configuration file Enter your internal ip address in the server – so my internal ip was 10.138.0.3 The internal ip address can be found on the instance area. The port number is good. Local port is good. Password can be changed. Timeout is good. Change the method to aes-256-cfb

to edit press shift i

To Save Press alt enter Type :x This will save and exit

lets start the server sudo /etc/init.d/shadowsocks-libev start

we need to create a static ip address for the server

change type from Ephemeral to static

sudo apt-get install lsof

this looks good. We need to restart the VM now

Hit reset

open terminal on mac

type telnet and ip of your external ip and port number

telnet 104.196.226.60 8388

That’s good we made a connection

Lets make a connection with a client now using mac os shadowsocks

go to servers

add your external ip port number: 8388 encryption aes-256-cfb password: password123 Now you should be able to use google Make sure your password is correct

Shadowsocks for ios wingy ios

go to servers

IOS iphone setup Wingy – HTTP ios apple store

go to servers

add your external ip port number: 8388 encryption aes-256-cfb password: password123

if your having trouble connecting read agian. Make sure you set up the firewall rules correctly. make sure you use the external ip on the ios

Setting up shadowsocks full size

If you want to install the newest version of shadowsocks follow this

ssh to your server - (examples above)

type these commands below in order

sudo wget --no-check-certificate -O shadowsocks-libev-debian.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/teddysun/shadowsocks_install/master/shadowsocks-libev-debian.sh

sudo chmod +x shadowsocks-libev-debian.sh

sudo ./shadowsocks-libev-debian.sh 2>&1 | tee shadowsocks-libev-debian.log

the automatic process will ask you for a

password - (type in a password that you will remember

port number - (you can keep these default 8399 or choose something else)

method - (I recommend you choose aes-256-cfb because its more accepted
