Download ACL file and saved it to local directory. * go to [github repo - SuperAcl]() * [inchina.acl](): Proxy only sites blocked by the firewall. * [inforeign.acl](): Proxy the sites in china which restricted access to overseas. 2. Enable ACL Mode and load the file on settings page of client. **Why?** * The official qt-version app - [`shadowsocks-qt5`]() has been deprecated, which has an old interface but still working. * Only [`Shadowsocks-libev`]() and [`Shadowsocks for Android`]() support ACL (bypass China IPs, etc.) This project was heavily inspired by [shadowsocks/ShadowsocksX-NG](), which uses local Shadowsocks-libev binary to avoid complex integration with native C code. This means it can always use the latest Shadowsocks-libev version. It also uses Electron to bring the most powerful cross-platform desktop support with great developing experience. **Credit** * [tindy2013/shadowsocks-static-binaries]() * [robertying/shadowsocks-electron]() * [shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev]() * [shadowsocks/ShadowsocksX-NG]() ### Package name * shadowsocks-electron --- ### License * GPL-3.0-or-later --- ### Last updated * 19 January 2023 - latest/stable * 19 January 2023 - latest/beta This snap hasn't been updated in a while.
