Write in FAQ instructions how to connect custom SS clients

Open flaksp opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

As new Shadowsocks user I don't really understand how to connect third-party SS client (for example: shadowsocks/shadowsocks-windows) to Outline. I don't understand protocol at all: what is password, what is host, what is port, which encryption used by Outline and why my third-party client doesn't work.

Outline client is easy to use, but it lacks a lot of useful functions I want to see: starting with OS, possibility to minimize to tray and auto-updates. And I know there are a lot of good SS clients, but I have no idea how to connect them to my Outline server.

I want to beg you to add definitive guides to your FAQ.

Just copy & paste access key to 3rd party ss client. Access key (a.k.a. shadowsocks url, or url) of Outline is standard Shadowsocks format. Most client support this format, see if it has any 'import' feature.

Thanks for the feature requests. FYI, auto-updates are already implemented.

FYI that we now also support minimization to tray in Windows (and macOS always did).
