Set Up your Shadowsocks-libev Server

Please Run Command below on your server to Install Twist

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Unbinilium/Twist/master/twist -O twist.sh && chmod -x twist.sh && bash twist.sh

Attention

Please make sure that your server was able to Connect to the Internet and Opened these Inboard & Outboard Ports below. It required by shadowsocks-libev services based on your configurations. And It will be automatically configured on your System Side but will not be on the Server Management Console

UDP 443
TCP 443

Custom

Change the default configurations by editing Twish before install, the manual and detailed information of shadowsocks-libev configurations is at shadowsocks-libev Wiki

sudo nano twist.sh       # Edit the value below on 'function *config'

If you have already installed Twist, try this by editing raw config file that installed on your server instead of the install script

sudo twist custom  # Edit the value in json format

Edit values in typename="HERE", save and run Twist after you have confirmed that it is correct

 PORT="443"                       # Server port
 LOACL="127.0.0.1"                # The address that server listens
 LOCALPORT="1080"                 # Local port of loacl address that server listens
 PASSWORD=""                      # Password used for encryption, auto generate if left free 
 DNS="8.8.8.8"                    # Default DNS server address of Google Public DNS
 TIMEOUT="600"                    # Drop connections if it not using in seconds
 METHOD="xchacha20-ietf-poly1305" # Encryption, AEAD is better than OTA
 OBFS="tls"                       # Obfs method using tls or http
 OBFSHOST="mzstatic.com"          # Obfs host address
 OBFSURI="/"                      # Obfs specify the client request path uri
 BBR="enable"                     # Google BBR for low delay network to get faster speed
 FWS="enable"                     # Fake as a apache web server for concealing
 ABB="enable"                     # Uses Fail2ban to ban force crackers

Encrypt Method Cipher

• There are some recommend AEAD Ciphers to use if the default cipher is not available for the clients on your device

aes-128-gcm
aes-192-gcm
aes-256-gcm
chacha20-ietf-poly1305
xchacha20-ietf-poly1305

• Also the Stream Ciphers listed here, which are not recommend. If there is no other choice, please try these

rc4
rc4-md5
rc2-cfb
bf-cfb
des-cfb
idea-cfb
seed-cfb
cast5-cfb
camellia-128-cfb
camellia-192-cfb
camellia-256-cfb
aes-128-cfb
aes-192-cfb
aes-256-cfb
aes-128-ctr
aes-192-ctr
aes-256-ctr
salsa20
chacha20
chacha20-ietf

Simple Obfs

Here is the deafult configurations of simple-obfs, it will not be run without configure it on your clients side. And you could use shadowsocks without set up simple-obfs on your clients. If you used the URLSchemes or QRCode to setup your clients, simple-obfs may not be configured in some old clients or third-part clients

OBFS="tls"
OBFSHOST="mzstatic.com"
OBFSURI="/"

Check and Change Shadowsocks-libev Status

• Check if shadowsocks-libev is running on your server

twist status        # Check Shadowsocks Status

• Change the status of shadowsocks-libev by these commands

sudo twist start    # Start Shadowsocks Service
sudo twist stop     # Stop Shadowsocks Service
sudo twist restart  # Restart Shadowsocks Service

Setup Shadowsocks-libev to Connect to the Server on your Devices

It requires shadowsocks based clients on your device and you may have to manually set up some features or you can use the URLScheme and QRCode for configuration. Be careful and make sure there is a simple-obfs plugin on your client side if you used this feature. Otherwise, if the default cipher is not available on your clients, try other cipher I have mentioned yet. Don't dismiss any useful information for troubleshooting
