HAProxy Shadowsocks relay example. You can run this on a server in China with good peering, and then proxy traffic to your outside server. Speed will be better (and improved obfuscation).

shadowsocks-relay-haproxy.cfg

# 1. Install haproxy on Ubuntu.
# 2. Edit file path:   /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
# 3. Run with:         haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
# 4. haproxy will run in the background, so you can disconnect safely.
# 5. Point your Shadowsocks client at <CHINA IP>:8001 (or 8002, etc.) - you will actually be connected to your interational server!

Nabs you've done it again, I keep forgetting how to do this and then remember I made this gist 🇨🇳
