Last night I tried setting up a Shadowsocks.
I did it by following this guide, but I’m a total noob at this so I don’t know exactly what I did.
To summarize: I set up a VPS via Digital Ocean, installed Shadowsocks and connected from my laptop. Surprisingly, speed was way higher than it usually is with my current VPN provider.
As I understand from the guide, this configuration does not allow for simultaneous connections, which is fine for now.
But today I’ve been trying to connect from my android phone and haven’t been able to. To summarize that: laptop is logged off, downloaded Shadowsocks app to device, set up connection to my previously created Shadowsocks.
According to the app I’m connected but my IP is still the same as before and I can’t navigate blocked sites, if it matters, I’m in China and it’s the same for data or wifi.
Btw, I googled how to do this but some sites just said to log my Shadowsocks via the app as I already did.
My best guess is that either my VPS or Shadowsocks config don’t allow phone connection, does anyone know how to solve this??
