Things people build with this

USE CASE 1

Route your browser or system traffic through a remote ShadowsocksR server to access content blocked in your region

USE CASE 2

Use PAC file rules to selectively proxy only specific sites while letting other traffic go directly

USE CASE 3

Verify the integrity of a downloaded client build using the included SHA-256 checksums before running it

You must already have a ShadowsocksR server and its credentials, this client only handles the Windows side.

Free to use and modify, but if you distribute changes you must share the source code under the same GPLv3 license.

In plain English

This is a Windows desktop client for ShadowsocksR, which is a proxy protocol used to route internet traffic through an intermediary server. The purpose is to allow users to connect to the internet through a server they control elsewhere, which can be used to access content that might be blocked in their region. ShadowsocksR is a fork of the original Shadowsocks protocol with additional obfuscation features intended to make the traffic harder to detect and block. The application runs in the Windows system tray and acts as a local proxy. Once running, it can redirect your browser or system traffic through a remote ShadowsocksR server. You configure it by adding one or more server addresses in the interface, then enabling the system proxy option. Alternatively, you can point your browser directly at the local port the app listens on, which defaults to 1080. The README also mentions PAC file support, which is a way to apply selective rules about which traffic goes through the proxy and which goes directly. Installation involves downloading a compressed archive, extracting it with 7-Zip, and running the appropriate executable depending on your version of Windows and the .NET version you have installed. There are two builds: one for .NET 4.0 for Windows 8 and newer, and one for .NET 2.0 for older systems. The README includes optional steps for verifying the download's integrity using SHA-256 checksums and GPG signature verification. The project is licensed under GPLv3 and is described as a fork of the original Shadowsocks client. The README is brief and does not go into detail about how to set up a server, only about how to configure and use the Windows client once you already have server credentials.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I have ShadowsocksR server credentials. Walk me through downloading the Windows client, extracting it, entering my server details, and enabling the system proxy.

Prompt 2

What is the difference between enabling the system proxy mode and manually pointing my browser at the local SOCKS port in ShadowsocksR?

Prompt 3

How do I set up a PAC file in ShadowsocksR so only certain websites are routed through the proxy?

Prompt 4

How do I verify the ShadowsocksR Windows client download using the SHA-256 checksum and GPG signature before running it?
