kcptun usage with shadowsocks

start the server

On you VPS, you should already run your shadowsocks server with port '838' 

alias kcptun_start='~/kcptun/server_linux_amd64 -t "127.0.0.1:838" -l ":4000" -mode fast2'

or just use the command 

./kcptun/server_linux_amd64 -t "127.0.0.1:838" -l ":4000" -mode fast2

start client

So in your local machine, start the client: 

sudo ./client_darwin_amd64 -r "xxx.pjq.me:4000" -l ":838" -mode fast2

Now we have set the connection from local port 838 to the remote port 4000.

config your shadowsocks

Set the server to localhost/127.0.0.1, and the port 838

Testing the speed

I did the follow testing

So we can see the speed is 8689 → 60858 → 1088k, the speed is increased significant. 

8.6k * 136, 60k * 18 = 1088k
