When a DNS query was made by the client to the ChinaDNS server, it looks up from the upstream DNS server. To get rid of the DNS sppofing we need ChinaDNS, which creates a UDP DNS Server at a certian local port. By this way the GFW may block foreign websites by faking the results of DNS queries that was made under it, which means that clients can not get the real IP address of the domain name, so of course they can not reach to the real server. The GFW intercepts all UDP traffic on port 53(traffic on UDP port 53 usually means that it is a DNS lookup) and quickly, ahead of the real DNS server, send a fake response to the user when it finds the domain keyword matches the GFW blacklist. One of them is the DNS spoofing, also named DNS Cache Poisoning. The GFW(Great Firewall of China) has multiple methods to block network. However, if you want to bypass all the traffic to Chinese IPs, you may choose Ignore List, which was defined at /etc/shadowsocks/ignore.list in default.ДЇill out the configuration form and choose Save & Apply, then Shadowsocks will run as a deamon in the background. Notice that Proxy Method can be Global Proxy if you want all traffic go though the remote server. Shadowsocks-libev-spec is the core Shadowsocks package for OpenWRT and luci-app-shadowsocks-spec provides a web interface for Shadowsocks so that we can just fill out the configuration form to setup the Shadowsocks service.ДЄfter installing the package above, we may find Shadowsocks under the Services tab:

Install shadowsocks on a router and build a transparent proxy, so that any device connected to the router was proxied by the remote server.ДЇirstly, I assume that openWRT has been succesfully installed on the router, you know how to login to the router via ssh and you know how to config a Shadowsocks client.Use Privoxy to turn the SSH tunnel (SOCKS5) provided by shadowsocks into a HTTP proxy, then configure the HTTP proxy on the devices like iPhone or Xbox.If you want to use shadowsocks on those devices, there are two ways to do it. However, Shadowsocks can not be installed on some devices such as non-jailbroken iOS devices(has a app store version but only the built-in browser works), Xbox and PS4. For installation and configuration of Shadowsocks on a remote server and on the local client, please visit. Shadowsocks client has supported a lot types of clients. However, if you're not living in China but still have the difficulty playing online games as the ping is too high and connection is unstable, you can still try Shadowsocks as it may bring you a more stable network environment as long as the performance of your remote server is not too bad. If you're living in China and have the demand of visiting websites like Google, Twitter, YouTube and BBC, Shadowsocks is a great choice to build your proxy server. We use it to break though the Chinese network block so that we can visit Google without blocking. Recently Shawdowsocks has become a lot more popular in China.
