A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Has anyone done their own shadowsocks?

I'm assuming you'll need to expose your port to WAN?

Is there a specific reason you're looking at shadowsocks? The original developer has been MIA for years. People who used it in the past largely consider it insecure for its original stated purpose

trojan-gfw is a better modern replacement. However that requires a certificate in order to work. You can easily get one via lets encrypt.

At this point, let Shadowsocks, obfs, and kcp die a graceful death like GoAgent before it did.
