A desktop GUI frontend for shadowsocks-rust client implemented with gtk-rs.

This application is currently Linux only. Compatibility with other OSes isn't planned, because there already exists plenty of alternative solutions for Windows and MacOS.

This package contains two binaries:

• shadowsocks-gtk-rs
  • Table of Contents
    • Work in Progress
  • Install
    • Read the Documentation!
    • Arch Linux and Derivatives
    • Any Linux
      • Limitations of Using cargo-install
  • Build
    • Dependencies
    • Clone Source and Run
  • Useful Reading

Be advised that this application may be incomplete and/or buggy. But do rest assured that it won't destroy your OS or something.

Your input is very welcomed! If you have any suggestions or have found any issue (no matter how small or unimportant) with the code or the documentation, please feel free to raise an issue. Or better yet, submit a PR if you can!

If you are using this application for the first time, you should first read the configuration guide.

You can install the AUR package that I maintain.

# install with paru
paru shadowsocks-gtk-rs

You can always install directly from crates.io.

cargo install shadowsocks-gtk-rs

• you will need to manually install dependencies first.
• support files (e.g. desktop entry, icon) cannot be automatically installed.

• A working installation of rust, see here.
• The sslocal binary from shadowsocks-rust as the backend.
  • Strictly speaking, this is only required at runtime.
• GTK3 and libappindicator, using your distro's package manager.

The latest versions are highly recommended.

If you are using any recent version of Gnome as your desktop environment, you also need gnome-shell-extension-appindicator for the tray icon to show up.
