Why shadowsocks-rust

shadowsocks-rust is the actively maintained Rust implementation of the Shadowsocks protocol. It supports full SIP002 URIs and runs as a lightweight local SOCKS5/HTTP proxy daemon.

Step 1 — Get the binary

Direct download (no GitHub required)

Download shadowsocks-v1.24.0.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.xz from our mirror on the install page, or directly from github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-rust/releases.

Extract and install:

tar -xf shadowsocks-v1.24.0.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.xz
sudo mv sslocal /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sslocal

The musl build has no external library dependencies — it runs on any x86_64 Linux.

Step 2 — Get your Store4Gateway access key URL

Log in to store4gateway.com/dashboard.
Copy your ss:// access key URL.

Step 3 — Connect

Run sslocal with your access key URL directly:

sslocal --server-url "ss://YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_URL_HERE" \
        --local-addr 127.0.0.1:1080 \
        --protocol socks5

This starts a local SOCKS5 proxy on port 1080.

Route browser traffic:

Set your browser's proxy to SOCKS5 127.0.0.1:1080, or export for CLI tools:

export ALL_PROXY=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080

Run as a systemd service:

# /etc/systemd/system/sslocal.service
[Unit]
Description=Shadowsocks local client
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/sslocal \
  --server-url "ss://YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_URL_HERE" \
  --local-addr 127.0.0.1:1080 \
  --protocol socks5
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

sudo systemctl enable --now sslocal

Step 4 — Verify

curl --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:1080 https://store4gateway.com/check

You should see connected in the response. Or open store4gateway.com/check in a proxied browser.

Troubleshooting

"Connection refused" on sslocal startup

Check your access key URL is complete and unmodified. The URL contains the server address, port, encryption method, and password encoded in base64.

Permission denied on /usr/local/bin

Use sudo for the mv and chmod commands, or install to ~/.local/bin and add that to $PATH.
