Is there a way to disable encryption?

Hi,

Is there a way to disable encryption?

The "table" algo seems to do encryption, and for my use case (simply having a socks proxy), I don't need encryption.

Could you add support for a none cipher (like openvpn has)?

Best,

Nope, you can't. Also, shadowsocks cannot work as a socks5 proxy.

If you're looking for a normal SOCKS5 proxy, try this: https://www.inet.no/dante/

If I have make a patch to disable the encryption, will you accept it?

You can keep your modification as a fork. But I choose not to merge the change back.

In this fork, the encryption is optional. Use none cipher to disable encryption.
