ShadowSocks ConnecTion – A Wrapper Tool For Shadowsocks To Consistently Bypass Firewalls

A wrapper tool for shadowsocks to consistently bypass firewalls.

Quick start

Automatically connect
The easiest way to run this tool is just type ssct in terminal, and ssct will acquire available shadowsocks servers from ishadowsocks and connect to it automatically.

Connect to a specific server
First, show all ss servers by --list option.

ssct --list

Then, connect to a specific server by -n option.

ssct -n 5

Alternatively, you can connect a custom server.

ssct -s <server_addr> -p <server_port> -l <local_port> -k <password> -m <method>

Usage

Requirements
1 Install shadowsocks

# for python2
pip install shadowsocks
# for python3
pip3 install shadowsocks

Note: You can also install shadowsocks with system package manager (apt, yum, dnf, etc) or just chrome app version shadowsocks. However, the chrom app version can’t connect automatically.
2 Install python3 modules

pip3 install requests
pip3 install prettytable

Note: The module prettytable is optional, but would be better if installed.

Configuration for google chrome

  1. Install chrome extension SwitchyOmega.
  2. Open the options of SwitchyOmega, and configure as below.
  3. List servers and select one to connect, or just type ssct to connect automatically.
  4. Select proxy option in chrome and enjoy it.


Configuration for firefox

  1. Install firefox extension AutoProxy.
  2. AotoProxy preferences: Proxy Server –> Edit proxy server, and add shadowsocks item.
  3. Start ssct and select the shadowsocks proxy.
