[cokebar]

windows的版本我有一个编译好的，是用libev版本在windows上用cygwin编译的：
https://cokebar.info/archives/1988
ubuntu上按照README上的步骤编译即可

[asterriya]

@cokebar is it for server or for client? But what to do on server side? My skype id is parsi19881 can you help and guide me step-by step cause i'm confused totally!

[cokebar]

@asmadeus08 那个链接里的是客户端 windows上服务端我也有编译不过没放进去
服务端按照simple-obfs的readme就行了，这里也有说明：
http://shadowsocks.org/en/spec/Plugin.html

[asterriya]

@cokebar Thanks but
Still dont understand. That's what i did:
git clone https://github.com/shadowsocks/simple-obfs.git
cd simple-obfs
git submodule update --init --recursive
./autogen.sh
./configure && make
sudo make install

Then use that ss-server -c /etc/shadowsocks-libev/config.json --plugin obfs-server --plugin-opts "obfs=http"

And that's what i got
2017-04-09 10:27:31 INFO: plugin "obfs-server" enabled
2017-04-09 10:27:31 INFO: initializing ciphers... aes-256-cfb

2017-04-09 10:27:31 [simple-obfs] ERROR: bind() error
2017-04-09 10:27:31 ERROR: plugin service exit unexpectedly

And that's what i have on server config right now
"server":"0.0.0.0",
"server_port":995,
"local_address":"127.0.0.1",
"local_port":1080,
"password":"",
"timeout":600,
"method":"aes-256-cfb",
"plugin":"obfs-local",
"plugin_opts":"obfs=http"

And on client side i left what you gave on mega.nz. Still doesnt work.

[cokebar]

端口号占用了 换一个

[asterriya]

@cokebar So what to do? Can you setup it properly if i will give you access to my server side and on client side, please! I need it so much right now but failed few times already.

[cokebar]

@asmadeus08 Sorry. But I have no time helping you doing that.

[asterriya]

@cokebar But maybe you can tell me what need to fix on server side, please

[asterriya]

On client side i'm sure that all is right but error on server side and trying to find problem but dont see it.

[cokebar]

modify another port number in config.json.
and server side config.json shouldn't have local_address and local_port, these two is for client side. And plugin should be obfs-server
and if you set plugin and plugin_opts in config.json, there's no need to specify --plugin obfs-server --plugin-opts "obfs=http" when runningss-server`.

Here's my example:

#config.json on server side
{
    "server":"x.x.x.x",
    "server_port":995,
    "password":"pass",
    "method":"aes-128-gcm",
    "plugin":"obfs-server",
    "plugin_opts":"obfs=http",
}
# Start server side:
ss-server -c /path/to/config.json -u

#config.json on client side
{
    "server":"x.x.x.x",
    "server_port":995,
    "local_port":1080,
    "password":"pass",
    "method":"aes-128-gcm",
    "plugin":"obfs-local",
    "plugin_opts":"obfs=http;obfs-host=cloudfront.net",
}
# Start client side:
ss-local -c /path/to/config.json -u

[asterriya]

@cokebar Yeah i applied the same on both side and changed port of ss-libev from 995 to 996 and now that's what i got

2017-04-09 10:59:14 INFO: plugin "obfs-server" enabled
2017-04-09 10:59:14 INFO: initializing ciphers... aes-256-cfb
2017-04-09 10:59:14 INFO: tcp server listening at 127.0.0.1:50283
2017-04-09 10:59:14 INFO: running from root user
2017-04-09 10:59:14 [simple-obfs] INFO: obfuscating enabled
2017-04-09 10:59:14 [simple-obfs] INFO: tcp port reuse enabled
2017-04-09 10:59:14 [simple-obfs] INFO: listening at 0.0.0.0:995
2017-04-09 10:59:14 [simple-obfs] INFO: running from root user

But when i'm checking ss-libev status with that /etc/init.d/shadowsocks status it's show that server is stopped and doesnt work at all. Trying to get back and it's still doesnt work. So strange.

[cokebar]

it is because you start with cmd, instead of init script.( /etc/init.d/shadowsocks-libev start or service shadowsocks-libev start)
In Ubuntu, you can start ss using service shadowsocks-libev start. Then you can use server shadowsocks-libev status to check status.

[cokebar]

@asmadeus08 You'd better study more about Ubuntu & Linux.

[asterriya]

@cokebar Now that's what i have
{
"server":"0.0.0.0",
"server_port":995,
"password":"",
"timeout":600,
"method":"aes-256-cfb",
"plugin":"obfs-server",
"plugin_opts":"obfs=http",
}

And ss-libev working now. Just missed one detail. There was "plugin":"obfs-local" instead of "plugin":"obfs-server" on the server side. Now obfs and ss-libev working.
And now client side doesnt work at all with that config

  "server":"*****",
  "server_port":995,
  "local_port":1080,
  "password":"",
  "method":"aes-256-cfb",
  "plugin":"obfs-local",
  "plugin_opts":"obfs=http"

[asterriya]

I will try again from the beginning and let' what will happened then cause i think that miss something.

[asterriya]

@cokebar Still the same error

And now client side doesnt work at all with that config

"server":"*",
"server_port":995,
"local_port":1080,
"password":"",
"method":"aes-256-cfb",
"plugin":"obfs-local",
"plugin_opts":"obfs=http"

[asterriya]

@madeye Working without obfs but i need exactly with obfs cause from 10-20 minutes youtube and other same sites stop loading. So i need obfs-plugin mode to hide my traffic flow. Can you tell me how properly setup this. Tried all steps described below but failed.

[asterriya]

Done. Problem was in http so changed "plugin_opts":"obfs=http" to "plugin_opts":"obfs=tls" on both side.
