For UDP, you need to use SocksCap or ProxyCap to force programs you want to be proxied to tunnel over Shadowsocks
If you want to manage multiple servers using other tools like SwitchyOmega, you can start multiple Shadowsocks instances. To avoid configuration conflicts, copy Shadowsocks to a new directory and choose a different local port.
Also, make sure to use SOCKS5 proxy in SwitchyOmega, since we have only
one HTTP proxy instance.
Please visit Servers for more information.
If you want to put all temporary files into shadowsocks/temp folder instead of
system temp folder, create a shadowsocks_portable_mode.txt into shadowsocks folder.
