  + [↪ kcptun repo releases](<https://github.com/shadowsocks/kcptun/releases/>)
  + install: Download the correct version, unpack and rename it to `kcptun`, then put the file into system dir (such as `/usr/local/bin/`) on unix like systems. OR you may need to configure `system variables` on windows.
* **v2ray-plugin**

  + [↪ v2ray-plugin repo releases](<https://github.com/shadowsocks/v2ray-plugin/releases>)

**Recommended ACL Files**

1. Download ACL file and saved it to local directory.

* go to [github repo - SuperAcl](<https://github.com/Windelight/SuperACL.git>)
* [inchina.acl](<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Windelight/SuperACL/master/inchina.acl>): Proxy only sites blocked by the firewall.
* [inforeign.acl](<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Windelight/SuperACL/master/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`](<https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-qt5>) has been deprecated, which has an old interface but still working.
* Only [`Shadowsocks-libev`](<https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev>) and [`Shadowsocks for Android`](<https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-android>) support ACL (bypass China IPs, etc.)

This project was heavily inspired by [shadowsocks/ShadowsocksX-NG](<https://github.com/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.
