Linux SSH config

1. Server Configuration

If you are using remote cloud server, you need some tools like Xshell in Windows, or iterm in iMac and ssh in Linux. If your Windows10 is available, you may type 'bash' in cmd and get into a virtual ubuntu without installing Xshell or other tools. You can connect to your romote server by:

ssh -l [username] [ip]

e.g. ssh -l root 120.120.120.120

Then you login the server with root account and begin to config by the following code:

apt-get update

apt-get install python-pip

pip install --upgrade pip

pip install setuptools

pip install shadowsocks

vim /etc/shadowsocks.json

shadowsocks. json should contains this:

{
    "server":"0.0.0.0",
    "server_port":1024,
    "local_address": "127.0.0.1",
    "local_port":1080,
    "password":"mypassword",
    "timeout":300,
    "method":"aes-256-cfb"
}

Note that the password above is the password you will use in the future, and it is not neccessary to be the same as the server password.

chmod 755 /etc/shadowsocks.json

apt-get install python-m2crypto

ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks.json -d start

vim /etc/rc.local

Insert this before `exit 0`:

ssserver -c /etc/shadowsocks.json -d start
exit 0

You may meet some problem when config your pip, e.g.

 File "/usr/bin/pip", line 9, in <module>
    from pip import main
ImportError: cannot import name main

Then you can edit the file (see here: 

The bug is found in pip 10.0.0. In linux you need to modify file: /usr/bin/pip from:

from pip import main
if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.exit(main())

to:

from pip import __main__
if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.exit(__main__._main())

2. Client of shadowsocks

You can visit its github, and click 'release', or visit its website download it and install. And type its IP and password according the the information above.

3. Enjoy it.
