Feature Request: Adding Shadowsocks Protocol to Windscribe VPN
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of the problem:
I'm often frustrated when attempting to access restricted content or bypass censorship in regions where VPNs are heavily blocked. Traditional VPN protocols like OpenVPN and IKEv2 are often detected and blocked by firewalls, limiting my ability to use Windscribe effectively in these situations.
Describe the solution you'd like:
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen:
Integrate the Shadowsocks protocol into Windscribe VPN. Shadowsocks is a lightweight proxy that’s specifically designed to bypass internet censorship. By adding Shadowsocks, Windscribe would provide an additional tool for users in restrictive environments, offering better obfuscation and increasing the likelihood of successfully connecting in heavily censored regions.
Describe alternatives you've considered:
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered:
Using third-party Shadowsocks applications in conjunction with Windscribe. However, this creates a fragmented experience, requiring separate configuration and management.
Relying on Windscribe's Stealth protocol, but in some cases, this protocol is also detected or does not perform as effectively as Shadowsocks in certain regions.
Switching to competitors offering native Shadowsocks support.
Additional context:
Shadowsocks is a popular solution in regions like China and Iran, where advanced censorship methods block most VPN protocols. Adding Shadowsocks would not only enhance Windscribe’s appeal to users in these regions but also make it a more competitive and versatile VPN option overall. Integrating Shadowsocks natively into the app would simplify user experience and reduce the need for technical configuration, enabling even non-technical users to benefit from the added functionality.
