#### shadowsocks

This is a shadowsocks snap app. After it has been installed, we can use the command:

$ sudo snap set ssocks server=shadowsocks\_server\_ip serverport=12255 localport=7777 password=yourpassword method=aes-128-cfb timeout=600

to generate a file config.json at SNAP\_DATA. You only need to do it once. Then

$ ssocks

it will help you make the connection. Due to a bug at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1640114>. configure hook not working yet on 16.04 desktop, you may manually go the directory at:

/var/snap/ssocks/current

to create a file named "config.json", and its content is like:

{
"server":"your shadowssocker server",
"server\_port":12255,
"local\_port":7777,
"password":"your password",
"method": "aes-128-cfb",
"timeout":600
}

Then, run：

$ ssocks

You can also just simply use the "ssocks.cli" command to start the shadowsocks. For more info, you can use "sscoks.cli --help"
