Shadowsocks Censored

From: "Matthijs Koot" <koot@cyberwar.nl>

A post on Reddit states 'Shadowsocks, a socks5 proxy with 9000+ star was
asked to delete by China police two days ago and was deleted today':

Shadowsocks is a popular SOCKS5 server & client that provides an encrypted
tunnel to bypass firewalls/censorship:

http://shadowsocks.org/

The server is available in Python, Go, C and C++; the client is available
for Windows, OS X, Linux, iOS, Android, OpenWRT.

The following GitHub repositories now show 'Removed according to
regulations':

https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks  (= server)
https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-windows   (= client for Windows)
https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-iOS   (= client for OS X &
non-jailbroken iOS)

Releases can however still be downloaded:

https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks/releases (server written in
Python, v2.8.2, released 2015-08-10)

https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-windows/releases (client for
Windows, sources+binary, v2.5.6, released 2015-08-20)

https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-iOS/releases (client for OS X &
non-jailbroken iOS, sources+binary, v2.6.3, released 2015-03-06)

The Shadowsocks wiki, that contains documentation, is no longer accessible
at its original URL:

However, the Internet Archive has copies made in April 2015:
