  • Universal: System-wide proxy for either Wi-Fi or cellular network.
  • All-in-one: No extra dependency. No Cydia Substrate stuff (except plugins :P).
  • Compatibility: All iDevices with iOS 3.0 and above (Some features need iOS 5 or above).

Installation

  1. Open Cydia.app and refresh sources
  2. Search the package named ShadowSocks and install it
  3. That's it!
Note: Latest packages are also available here for manual installation.

Usage

  1. After installation, you will find a icon named Shadow on your device.
  2. Launch the app and set up server information and proxy settings.
  3. Tap to turn on the first "Enable Proxy" switch.
  4. That's all folks!

FAQ

1. Can I exit the Shadow app completely after turning on the switch?

Yes, you can. This app is only for setting proxy options. The real shadowsocks services will start up on demand in the background.

2. How can I disable the proxy?

Just open the Shadow app again and switch off "Enable Proxy".

3. Is the proxy still available when network status is changed, or even device is rebooted?

Yes, it is always available if the proxy settings are enabled. The icon badge of Shadow.app will also show "On" to indicate that proxy is available.

4. Is the shadowsocks daemon always running in the background and consuming my battery?

No. The daemon uses the "On Demand" mechanism of launchd, which means it is battery-friendly. It starts up only when receiving proxy requests. So, don't worry for battery life, just leave it there. :)

5. I cannot find any proxy settings in Settings. Is the proxy actually enabled? And where are the proxy settings?

The proxy settings are indeed set successfully if you don't see any alert views when turning on the switch. Sometimes they just don't show in the Settings (or wrongly show in the proxy for VPN). For advanced users, try scutil --proxy to check proxy status in terminal.

6. My device uses iOS 5.x and has installed the app from Cydia. But why does it show an earlier version in the about?

The version in Cydia has removed the support for iOS 5.x and fall back to a legacy version. Please try to find the iOS 5.x compatible builds with new functions in the Releases section.
