FQNews is a free and open-source Android application (GPLv3 license) based on SS VPN and Flym News Reader. It is designed to download news from external RSS/FEED sources in the background without requiring a manual VPN connection by the user. The app automatically handles the proxying process to fetch and cache news locally.

Note: Due to censorship/blocking, the original version of this app may be currently unavailable. The new version of FQNews is designed to work without a user-facing VPN for news fetching.

V2Ray+TLS is a more secure and stable proxying method compared to standard V2Ray or Shadowsocks. It uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt traffic, making it harder to detect.

Key Recommendations for Setup:

• Network Line: Use CN2 or CN2 GIA lines for better stability.
• Acceleration: Enable Google BBR on your VPS to optimize bandwidth usage and increase speed.
• Prerequisite: This guide builds upon the Self-built V2Ray Server Tutorial.

EdgeGo is an all-in-one proxy tool package designed for the Microsoft Edge browser. It integrates 10 different proxy protocols/channels, including:

• clash
• Xray
• v2go
• hysteria
• hysteria2
• singbox
• naiveproxy
• psiphon
• Quick

All tools come with built-in free servers that are updated regularly. Because network environments and ISP blocking vary by region, users may need to try different protocols to find the one that works best for their specific network.

This directory contains a collection of tutorials for setting up and configuring your own proxy servers using V2Ray, Shadowsocks, and Brook. It covers various complexity levels, from simple server setups to advanced configurations involving TLS, WebSocket, Nginx, and CDNs.

Key topics include:

• V2Ray: Simple setup, V2Ray+TLS, V2Ray+TLS+WebSocket, and V2Ray+TLS+WebSocket+Nginx+CDN.
• Brook: TLS+WebSocket, TLS+WebSocket+CDN, and TLS+WebSocket+Web server configurations.
• Shadowsocks: Simple server setup.
• Infrastructure: SSH connection to VPS, using FileZilla for file transfers, and Google BBR acceleration for VPS.

The following resources are available for broader proxy-related needs:

Surfboard is a network proxy tool for Android that is compatible with Surge 2 configurations. It allows you to import standard Surge 2 configuration files directly.

Supported Protocols:

• SS (Shadowsocks)
• Vmess

Unsupported Protocols:

• SSR (ShadowsocksR)

Warning: The original Quantumult app is no longer being updated and is considered deprecated. It has been removed from the China mainland App Store.

It is highly recommended to use Quantumult X instead.

Using the Windows PC proxy method configures an HTTP Proxy on the console. This has specific limitations:

• What works: Web browsing (via the console's browser), downloading games, and accessing the PS Store (speeds up content browsing).
• What does NOT work: Native apps like YouTube or Netflix. These apps do not use the HTTP proxy settings configured in the network menu; they typically require system-level or UDP-based proxying.
• Solution for Apps: To use apps like YouTube or Netflix on a console, you must implement proxying at the router level (e.g., using a router with Merlin or OpenWrt firmware) rather than the console's individual network settings.

While there are no strict requirements for package names, component names, or content provider authorities, it is recommended to follow these patterns to prevent duplication:

• Package Name: Use com.github.shadowsocks.plugin.$PLUGIN_ID.
• Hyphens: Hyphens - are not allowed in package names; replace them with underscores _. For example, a plugin named obfs-local should use the package com.github.shadowsocks.plugin.obfs_local.

For enhanced stealth or to recover a blocked IP, you can use advanced Brook configurations:

• TLS+WebSocket+Web Server: Wraps Brook with a standard Web server to hide the service.
• TLS+WebSocket+CDN: Uses a CDN to bypass IP blocking and improve connectivity.

In VMess configurations, the id field acts similarly to a password.

Rules for ID/UUID:

• The id used in the client configuration must match the id configured on the server.
• The ID must follow the UUID format.
• You can generate a new UUID using online tools like UUID Generator or via the Linux command: cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid.
