Why builders pick Cloudzy
A Shadowsocks host that stays online.
The four things buyers actually compare us on.
Light on the wire
Almost no protocol overhead. On the same hardware Shadowsocks throughput tracks your raw uplink, server CPU is rarely the bottleneck.

Use cases
What people run on a
Shadowsocks VPS.
Censorship-resistant fallback
When OpenVPN and WireGuard get fingerprinted, Shadowsocks-2022 with AEAD-2022 ciphers is often what still works. Keep it as your secondary tunnel.
Self-hosted Outline
Outline pairs a friendly admin UI with the Shadowsocks protocol underneath. Add or revoke per-user keys in seconds; share access tokens like a Spotify family plan.
CLI tools through the proxy
Set HTTPS_PROXY=socks5h://... and curl, git, and your CI runner all flow through your VPS. Useful when corporate firewalls allow specific outbound paths.
Reach the open internet
Researchers, expats, and journalists use Shadowsocks to keep working from networks that block direct access to common services.
Multi-user share
Multiple ports, each with its own password and cipher. Add and remove users without touching anyone else's config.

FAQ. Shadowsocks VPS
Common questions, straight answers.
What is a Shadowsocks VPS?
A Shadowsocks VPS is a cloud server you control where you run Shadowsocks, a lightweight, encrypted SOCKS5 proxy originally built for environments where regular VPNs are blocked or throttled. With root access on Cloudzy, you SSH in, install shadowsocks-libev (or Outline server, which is built on top of Shadowsocks), and you have your own private encrypted proxy in a few minutes. Configuration is one URI you scan as a QR code, done.
Shadowsocks vs WireGuard or OpenVPN, when to pick which?
Pick Shadowsocks when you want a SOCKS5-style application proxy that's lightweight on the wire, easy to configure per-app, and historically resilient on networks that block standard VPN protocols. Pick WireGuard or OpenVPN when you want a system-wide tunnel that captures all traffic. Many users run Shadowsocks alongside WireGuard for different use cases.
Which Shadowsocks implementation should I install?
shadowsocks-libev is the most-deployed implementation, in every distro's package manager. Outline is Jigsaw's friendly fork that bundles a server and clean clients with a built-in management UI. xray-core supports the Shadowsocks-2022 protocol with newer ciphers. Pick libev for simple use, Outline if you want the easy management UI.
What ports does Shadowsocks need?
Just one TCP port and optionally one UDP port, both of your choice. Most setups expose the same port number for both. Common picks: 8388, 443, or anything else you want. There's no standard 'must-have' port like OpenVPN's 1194.
Which clients can connect?
On desktop: Shadowsocks-NG (macOS), Shadowsocks for Windows, Clash, Qv2ray. On Android: Shadowsocks Android, NekoBox, V2RayNG. On iOS: Shadowrocket, Outline. The configuration is shared as ss:// URI which all clients can scan as a QR code or import from clipboard.
Is the traffic logged?
We don't log VPN/proxy traffic itself, what flows through is your business. Standard infrastructure logs (login attempts to the VPS, billing) exist as you'd expect from any cloud provider. Shadowsocks server logs are minimal by default and you can disable them entirely.
How fast is Shadowsocks on a Cloudzy VPS?
Very fast. Shadowsocks is one of the lightest VPN-style tunnels you can run, with minimal protocol overhead. On a 4 GB / 2 vCPU AMD EPYC plan over the 40 Gbps uplink, throughput is essentially limited by the client's connection, not the server.
Which region should I pick?
Pick the region that's geographically close but on the other side of whatever you're trying to bypass. Tokyo and Singapore for users in East Asia. Frankfurt and Amsterdam for Middle East. From most other regions, pick whatever's closest to your real location.
Can I run multiple users?
Yes, multiple ports, each with a different password and cipher, easy to add and remove. Outline server makes this even friendlier with per-key access tokens you can revoke individually. One $2.48/mo VPS, several people each with their own access.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, 14 days from purchase, no questions asked, full refund. Apply from the panel or email [email protected].
