ShadowsocksR-Windows
Ship of Theseus
A Windows desktop app with a graphical interface for connecting to a ShadowsocksR proxy server, helping users in restricted network environments route their internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel.
ShadowsocksR for Windows is a desktop application for Windows that lets you route your internet traffic through a ShadowsocksR proxy. ShadowsocksR is a protocol originally created to help users in restricted network environments access the open internet. This project is a C# implementation of that protocol with a graphical interface built on WPF, the standard Windows UI framework.
The tool sits in the background and manages your proxy connection. You configure a server, and the application handles the encrypted tunnel between your computer and that server. The project is built on .NET 6 and maintained as a fork of the original ShadowsocksR codebase.
The README is sparse. It points to a wiki for documentation, a releases page for downloads, and recommends Visual Studio Community 2022 for anyone who wants to build from source. The project is open source under the GPLv3 license.
Where it fits
- Route your Windows internet traffic through a ShadowsocksR server to access the open internet from a restricted network
- Manage multiple ShadowsocksR server configurations from a system tray icon on your Windows desktop
- Build or fork a C# WPF proxy client using this project as a starting point for your own implementation
