## Generate SSH Key Pair

```
ssh-keygen -C "zhaohuabing@gmail.com"
```

## Shadowsocks

Install shadowsokcs    

```
sudo apt-get install python3-pip

sudo pip3 install shadowsocks
```

Create config at ```config/shadowsocks.json```, with the following content:    

```
{
	"server":"remote-shadowsocks-server-ip-addr",
	"server_port":443,
	"local_address":"127.0.0.1",
	"local_port":1080,
	"password":"your-passwd",
	"timeout":300,
	"method":"aes-256-cfb",
	"fast_open":false,
	"workers":1
}
```

Start a local socks proxy 

```
sudo sslocal -c config/shadowsocks.json -d start
```

In case there is an openssl error, modify shadowsocks source file.

```
sudo vi /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/shadowsocks/crypto/openssl.py 

:%s/cleanup/reset/gc
```

Convert shadowsocks socks proxy to http proxy

```
sudo apt-get install polipo

echo "socksParentProxy = localhost:1080" | sudo tee -a /etc/polipo/config 
sudo service polipo restart
```

Http proxy now is available at port 8123
