Shadowsocks Proxy on Localtonet: Fast Encrypted TCP and UDP Tunnels (Outline Compatible)
Localtonet now supports Shadowsocks, a lightweight, high-performance proxy protocol designed for privacy, speed, and flexibility. Create and manage encrypted Shadowsocks proxy tunnels from your dashboard and connect using Outline Client or any Shadowsocks-compatible app.
What Is Shadowsocks?
Shadowsocks is a lightweight SOCKS5-based encrypted proxy protocol. It is widely used to protect traffic from inspection and filtering, while keeping performance fast and latency low. Unlike traditional VPNs, it focuses on a simple proxy design with modern encryption.
Many modern Shadowsocks setups use AEAD ciphers such as ChaCha20-Poly1305 for strong security with excellent performance.
