Create a file named config.json, with the following content.

    "server_port":8388,
    "local_port":1080,
    "password":"barfoo!",
    "timeout":60,
    "method":"aes-128-cfb",
    "chnroute":true
}

cd into the directory of config.json. Run ss-server on your server. To run it in the background, run nohup ss-server -c ./config.json > log &.
