some tips about shadowsocks and vpn

proxychains

the problem that in terminal you cann't access socks

You can use proxychains to fix this problem. you can configure your proxy in /etc/proxychains.conf

[ProxyList]
socks5 127.0.0.1 your_port

Then you should only use the command just like sudo proxychains4 apt-get update

polipo

use polipo to turn socks proxy to httpproxy

$sudo apt-get install polipo

Edit the config file at /etc/polipo/config, and append the following two lines:

socksParentProxy = "localhost:1080"
socksProxyType = socks5

start and stop

$sudo service polipo stop
$sudo service polipo start

Now command as folows is alright:

$http_proxy=http://localhost:8123 curl ip.gs

Now we need to add the http_proxy setting into bashrc.If you are using zsh then edting ~/.zshrc and add the following:

export http_proxy=http://localhost:8123
export https_proxy=http://localhost:8123

At last you need to add the http_proxy and https_proxy and ip port settings to the system proxy setting.
