This project has been forked from its original repository on August 22nd 2015, shortly after fellow GitHub user @clowwindy has been asked by Beijing Central Government to remove everything of the shadowsocks project.
Since then, this project has not been maintained by me or others, but many forks happened to spread the code; each maintained with different quality and purpose. However, as nobody oversees these projects, nobody should trust or rely on these forked projects.
You can clearly see and proof that I forked the shadowsocks projects directly from the original author, just before he had to close most of his projects. Feel free to use his code for your own adaptions or to learn how your government tries to protect you from dangerous ideas, like alternate beliefs, the disease to speek freely (which infested the whole western hemisphere) or the joy of sex and watching others having sex.
My thoughts and prayers extend to everyone fighting for a better future for their society as well as to every victim of arbitrary province lords incarcerating the workers class in the name of the workers class' party.
Never give up <3

For UDP, you need to use SocksCap or ProxyCap to force programs you want to be proxied to tunnel over Shadowsocks
If you want to manage multiple servers using other tools like SwitchyOmega, you can start multiple Shadowsocks instances. To avoid configuration conflicts, copy Shadowsocks to a new directory and choose a different local port.
Hotkeys are NOT registered automatically. You should re-register all hotkeys after restarting Shadowsocks. If you are using multiple instances of Shadowsocks, you must set different key combination for other instances.
