Other ports and clients can be found here.

$ python --version Python 2.6.8
Install shadowsocks.
pip install shadowsocks
Create a file named config.json, with the following content.
{
"server":"my_server_ip",
"server_port":8388,
"local_port":1080,
"password":"barfoo!",
"timeout":600,
"method":null
}

cd into the directory of config.json. Run ssserver on your
server. To run it in the background, run nohup ssserver > log &.
On your client machine, run sslocal.
Change the proxy settings in your browser to
protocol: socks5 hostname: 127.0.0.1 port: your local_port
You can use args to override settings from config.json.
sslocal -s server_name -p server_port -l local_port -k password -m bf-cfb ssserver -p server_port -k password -m bf-cfb ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks/config.json
If you want to use non-default encryption methods like "bf-cfb", please install M2Crypto.
