Shadowsocks Customer Insights

1. Dude, write a tool to connect to an ip port combination using Socks 5 protocol and the world will beat a trail to your door.Overal, i love this app and how smooth it is but i have some tips to make it better: can you make an option to test all of the existing profiles and remove the not working ones automatically? because sometimes you have hundreds of servers and you don't know if all of them are aliveOne slight complaint.

2. which means, this app DOES NOT provide services on itself !!!! so if your speed is slow or whatever, contact the person you've bought your service from instead of leaving one star reviews on an app that doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the slow servers you're using.*update: Tracked down some info somewhere suggesting to put 8.8.8.8 in remote dns field.

3. perhaps the app does have some minor issues on connection establishment, but as far as I can think of, the app provides client services, it does not have any server side things that relate to the servers it connected to.To users who are complaining about slow speed, this app is only a CLIENT for a PROTOCOL.

4. It would make it just awesome!!!...Thank you for considering it.Since upgrading to android 10, my phone keeps terminating the app even though I've turned off the battery optimization, would be great if it had a keep-alive option to relaunch the app and reconnect whenever the other apps try and terminate itI like Shadowsocks It would be even better if it had these two options: 1.

5. In the evenings this app just doesn't work because the servers are to slow.Not well written.

6. I have 7 different servers and all of them don't work with FB, IG, ect.

7. I have paid for a subscription and have been using this horrible application since July.

8. Just needed a tool to 'bridge' Android 9's phony VPN settings dialog limitation.

9. Every once in awhile it works for some reason, then goes back to not working again.If I could give less than 1 star I would.

10. Do you think you could add support for Vmess protocol? There is a few apps around but none have all the functions of yours.

11. Other than that, perfection.Hello Team, first of all thank you for this wonderful app.
