Can be used as a server, not as a client, why?

[Xixi0218]

I use shoes as the server, and then use shoes as the client, but I can't connect

[Xixi0218]

vmess

[Xixi0218]

Please help me

shoes is a server, although it can connect to other proxies for you. for example, you can set it up as a socks server, but use it to connect to a vmess server.

i've added another example here: https://github.com/cfal/shoes/blob/master/examples/socks_through_wss_vmess.yaml

I use socks as the client and vmess as the proxy, and the link to v2ray will fail

can you paste your configs?

[Xixi0218]

can you paste your configs?

• address: 127.0.0.1:1080
  protocol:
  type: socks
  rules:

  allow connections to all ips

  • mask: 0.0.0.0/0
    action: allow
    client_proxy:
    • address: 127.0.0.1:2000
      protocol:
      type: vmess
      cipher: any
      user_id: b831381d-6324-4d53-ad4f-8cda48b30811

If you solve it, please tell me, I can pay you some USDT

[cfal]

you have tls=1, so, you need to connect over TLS to the server:

- address: 127.0.0.1:1080
  protocol:
    type: socks
  rules:
    # allow connections to all ips
    mask: 0.0.0.0/0
    action: allow
    client_proxy:
      address: 127.0.0.1:2000
      protocol:
        type: tls
        verify: false
        protocol:
          type: vmess
          cipher: any
          user_id: b831381d-6324-4d53-ad4f-8cda48b30811

always failed

127.0.0.1:49190 finished with error: Custom { kind: UnexpectedEof, error: "failed to setup client stream to mon.snssdk.com:443: tls handshake eof" }

it's hard for me to debug the problem without seeing the v2ray server config. can you paste it?

You can run v2ray locally, use shoes to link, I found that it will time out

[cfal]

i had forgotten about this - but you're correct, this won't work with v2ray's vmess server until #2 is resolved.

i've pushed a small update, so if you like, you can run a compatible shoes vmess server for now:

# Simple vmess server, supporting TCP and UDP-over-TCP.
- address: 127.0.0.1:2000
  transport: tcp
  protocol:
    type: vmess
    cipher: aes-128-gcm
    user_id: b831381d-6324-4d53-ad4f-8cda48b30811
  rules:
    - mask: 0.0.0.0/0
      action: allow
      # Direct connection, don't forward requests through another proxy.
      client_proxy: direct

About when can I use shoes as a client

[cfal]

this should now work.
