Usage

Local

Usage: sslocal [options]
 
Options:
    -v, --version               output the version number
    -c, --config <path>         set custom config
    -a, --server <string>       set remote server address
    -p, --server_port <number>  set remote server port
    -s, --local <string>        set local server address
    -o, --local_port <number>   set local server port
    -k, --password <string>     set password
    -m, --method <string>       set method
    -t, --timeout <number>      set timeout
    -l, --log                   log output for debug
    -h, --help                  output usage information

All set options will automatically overwrite the internal configuration file and save down, that means all settings will be saved and next time you won't set them again.

To start:

$ sslocal

To start with settings:

# you could just offer some of them 
$ sslocal -a 123.123.123.123 -p 8000 -s localhost -o 1080 -k test -m aes-256-cfb -t 600

To start with logs:

$ sslocal -l

To start with configuration:

# offer absolute path. ignore settings if use -c 
$ sslocal -c /usr/local/ss-n/lib/local/config.json

Configuration is like below, and all supported keys are listed.

{
    "server": "127.0.0.1",

Same as sslocal. All set options will automatically overwrite the internal configuration file and save down.

To start:

$ ssserver

To start with settings:

# you could just offer some of them 
$ ssserver -a 123.123.123.123 -p 8000 -k test -m aes-256-cfb -t 600

To start with logs:

$ ssserver -l

To start with configuration:

# offer absolute path. ignore settings if use -c 
$ ssserver -c /usr/local/ss-n/lib/server/config.json

Global configuration is like:

{
    "server": "127.0.0.1",
    "server_port": "8000",
    "password": "test",
    "method": "aes-256-cfb",
    "timeout": "600"
}

setting	value	remark
server	optional	remote server address, set automatically if missing
server_port	required	remote server port
password	optional	for encryptiong, default: test
method	optional	encrpytion method, default: aes-256-cfb
timeout	optional	server timeout in second, default: 600

Besides, you can set multiple servers for different users by "servers", like below. "servers" will be priorly accepted if both global configuration and "servers" exist.

{
    // global configuration
    "server": "123.123.123.123",
    "server_port": "8000",
    "password": "origin",
    "method": "aes-256-cfb",
    "timeout": "600",
    // "servers" setting
    "servers": [
        {
            // "server" will be the same as global configuration
            "server_port": "8000",
            "password": "test",
            "method": "aes-256-cfb",
            "timeout": "600"
        },
        {
            "server": "123.123.123.100",
            "server_port": "8001",
            // "password", "method" and "timeout" will be the same
            // as global configuration
        }
    ]
}

setting	value	remark
servers.server	optional	same as global server if missing, or set automatically if no global server
servers.server_port	required	remote server port
servers.password	optional	same as global password if missing
servers.method	optional	same as global method if missing
servers.timeout	optional	same as global timeout if missing

About AEAD Support

Currently AEAD won't be supported, because it might be unnecessary. When encountering unmatched ip types, servers will refuse after random timeout, against active port scanning.
