Out of curiosity: what does shadowsocks do that regular SSH tunneling doesn't do?
Why is an entire program needed just to run a simple ssh command? I couldn't find any info on the matter.
- djvu9 12y agoShadowsocks is (arguably) easier to use for ordinary people and better informed. Most people don't even have command line experience before. After all this is one problem limited in one country which couldn't be freely discussed so choices may not be "optimal" in some sense.
- silviogutierrez 12y agoAh thanks. So it doesn't actually offer additional functionality, then? The best tool I've ever used was https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle , because it was far lower level than a proxy. Unfortunately, it's super unstable on modern OSX versions.
