What is Shadowsocks VPS?
Shadowsocks is a lightweight SOCKS5-based proxy that encrypts traffic and helps you bypass network blocks with minimal overhead. Cloudzy’s Shadowsocks VPS ships as a ready image on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with optimized kernel parameters, a production config, and systemd service management. You get root control, NVMe storage, DDR5 memory, and a high-speed uplink for responsive browsing on desktop and mobile. Configure your Shadowsocks VPS hosting for TCP and UDP, add a SIP003 plugin for obfuscation if needed, and use snapshots to test changes safely. A static IPv4 and a 99.95% uptime SLA keep access predictable across regions.

FAQ | Shadowsocks VPS
Is Shadowsocks legal to use?
Legality varies by country and network policy. Many regions allow private proxies for legitimate use, but some jurisdictions restrict or monitor circumvention tools. Check local regulations before use.
What is the difference between Shadowsocks and a VPN?
A VPN creates a full-tunnel network interface, while Shadowsocks is a secure proxy that routes selected app traffic through a SOCKS5-style local client. Shadowsocks is typically lighter and more flexible but does not provide a full system tunnel by default.
Which ciphers should I choose for Shadowsocks?
Use AEAD ciphers. On modern CPUs, chacha20-ietf-poly1305 or AES-GCM variants are recommended for performance and security. Stream ciphers are deprecated.
Does Shadowsocks support UDP?
Yes. Shadowsocks handles TCP and UDP. Some client modes may change UDP behavior when plugins are enabled, so review your client’s settings if DNS or games use UDP.
How do plugins work with Shadowsocks?
SIP003 defines a plugin interface that wraps traffic in an obfuscated transport like WebSocket or TLS. You run the plugin alongside the client and server with matching options.
How do I access a Shadowsocks VPS after deployment?
You receive root access to Ubuntu 24.04. Check /root/.cloudzy-creds, verify the service with systemctl status shadowsocks-libev, and import the URI from /root/client.ss into your client.
What performance can I expect from a Shadowsocks VPS?
Plans use dedicated vCPUs, NVMe storage, and fast DDR5 memory. A high-speed uplink and regional locations help keep latency and throughput competitive for browsing and app traffic.
How do I secure a Shadowsocks VPS on Cloudzy?
Use AEAD ciphers, keep Ubuntu packages updated, restrict firewall ports to those you use, and rotate passwords or keys. You can add a SIP003 plugin like v2ray-plugin for TLS or WebSocket transport where appropriate.
What uptime and support apply to a Shadowsocks VPS?
Infrastructure is backed by a 99.95% uptime SLA. Support is available 24/7 to help with regions, sizing, and configuration.
Can I scale, snapshot, or keep a static IP on a Shadowsocks VPS?
Yes. You can scale CPU, RAM, or disk from the panel, take snapshots before changes, and each server includes a dedicated IPv4 for predictable access.
