Shadowsocks for openwrt not working

froyic · December 12, 2023, 11:12pm

i have heard v2ray is better than shadowsocks but i have not found v2ray for openwrt, is there any alternative? if so could someone kindly help me to achieve config my v2ray server or my shadowsocks server? i live in a heavily censored country and my traffic gets throttled and trolled constantly i have tested lot of ways to bypass that stuff and i have found v2ray and shadowsocks do the deed, can someone support me with it?

reference posts for more support:

i thereby summon the tech sages (again) if someone have time to guide me in this i would be more than thankful of it

thanks

update i am stuck in the dns thing is there a way i can skip that step and use some thing like dot or dnsmasq or stubby?

i cannot understand which of the 4 modes should i select

`ss-local` provides SOCKS5 proxy with UDP associate support.

	 socks5                                     ss              plain
	--------> tcp:local_address:local_port ----> ss server -------> dest

`ss-redir`.  The REDIRECT and TPROXY part are to be provided by `ss-rules` script.  REDIRECT is for tcp traffic (`SO_ORIGINAL_DST` only supports TCP).  TPROXY is for udp messages, but it's only available in the PREROUTING chain and as such cannot proxy local out traffic.

	  plain             plain                                 ss              plain
	---------> REDIRECT ------> tcp:local_address:local_port ----> ss server -----> original dest

	  plain            plain                                 ss              plain
	---------> TPROXY -------> udp:local_address:local_port -----> ss server -----> original dest

`ss-tunnel` provides ssh `-L` local-forwarding-like tunnel.  Typically it's used to tunnel DNS traffic to the remote.

	  plain                                       ss               plain

anyone? i have not solved this problem and the installation is clean install, i have configured remote and also i have configured sss0 it says is running but wont do anything

Actually you want to run a client shadowsocks, in a way that it redirects for the whole LAN. A shadowsocks server is the machine that your client connects to. The server needs to be in another country so it has an uncensored connection.

yes and the steps are simple, just download luci-shadowsocks , then go to remote, set server, go to local enable sss0, disable disable ( untick disabled) to enable, and its done, but it is not the case for me, still exploding if someone could help me to make it work i could get them free shadowsock servers to test the config, because it is weird, it is not working for me
