shadowsocks-libev very slow after update to 3.xx.

[zw963]

Hi, I use entware in my ASUS routes, AC-66U.

after update to shadowsocks 3.0.6. (original shadowsocks-libev split into seperate packages) , i install only following needed three package:

shadowsocks-libev-config shadowsocks-libev-ss-redir shadowsocks-libev-ss-tunnel

(Addtionally, we need install rng-tool or haveged to make ss-tunnel work correct.)

it worked, as a forward transparent proxy. but, very very slow now. (previous old version is worked quite well, but, I don't remember that version all)

I can confirm the problem is happen in client, previous old version, Youtube in my Android phone speed is very well, but, when update to new version, Youtube only can open page, almost could not play normally, But, if use shadowsocks android client, speed is very quickly as usual.

So, I think maybe some issue happen for newest version,Please give me a link of old shadowsocks entware package, I want to tried it again for speed

Following is some info:

shadowsocks-libev version: 3.0.6 haveged version: 1.9.1-5 is installed for resolve following warn info when run ss-tunnel.

seems everything is good for me.

@smounives , my connect speed only 140kp - 160kb.

anyone could help give some link about old shadowsocks-libev and dependent packages

[zw963]

@smounives , That speed is tested in firefox for Android.

But, if use Youtube Android App directly, same url, same quality, youtube keep buffering, and not play.

[zw963]

I can confirm the reason make Youtube app can not play is: the speed.

several years ago, I use squid as forward proxy, obviously, squid is too weight for this simple purpose, it speed is not ideally, almost same as current situation.

when I switch to shadowsocks, same remote VPS, the effect is improve a lot.

You can use the following link to get the old 2.6.1 version: http://pkg.entware.net/binaries/mipsel/archive/shadowsocks-libev_2.6.1-1_mipselsf.ipk You can also find other history versions in http://pkg.entware.net/binaries/mipsel/archive/

I deploy shadowsocks-libev 2.6.1 with OpenSSL 1.0.2k 26 Jan 2017 version to my router, server version keep 3.0.8

$: /usr/bin/ss-server -u --fast-open -c /etc/shadowsocks/config.json

It now worked, after a short time test. (within firefox browser for andorid, use pc mode), I see Connection speed is up, 700-1200+ kbps. but for Youtube app, after short time test, still keep caching ... maybe caused by other problem.

anywhy, I need more time do test to exclude others network issue.

Thanks

Hi, sorry for confuse, for recent days, seem like Youtube app speed is ideal for me.

I think that should be a network issue.

For avoid this happen again, I create a issue to Asuswrt merlin project for support tproxy kernel module, that is done for now.

Thanks very much.
