What is the best choice when it comes to proxy game traffic ? #1733

Closed QiXianPu closed 7 years ago

QiXianPu commented 7 years ago

Dear owner of this repository,

I want to use some tools to proxy game traffic. I now have two choices: 

    Shadowsocks-libev (ss-redir feature) and the openvpn

I have already read parts of the official document of the openvpn. I find that the deployment of openvpn on a server is much harder than the Shadowsocks-libev. So I wonder which one of these two proxy tools works better when it comes to proxy game traffic (PUBG) ?

Thanks

BUT openvpn faces risk of getting blocked.

I'd recommend trivial SOCKS proxies, since you are not requiring extra security.

Thanks, guys : ) @chenhw2 @leonshaw

I will use a tunnel to carry those traffic that traverse through the openvpn if the openvpn can be blocked.

And what is the trivial SOCKS proxies? Any useful information about it?

leonshaw commented 7 years ago

@QiXianPu You could use softwares like dante, or simply use "ssh -D" (as a loop on the server, to avoid being blocked). Sorry, please ignore me. Since games are probably using UDP, it's tricky to setup SOCKS for that.
