    "server":"0.0.0.0",
    "server_port":1080,
    "password":"security",
    "timeout":300,
    "method":"aes-256-cfb",
    "workers":10,
    "fast_open": false
}

Change the port and password as you like.

Enable both IPv6 and IPv4.
"server":"::",

3.Add startup script

wget --quiet -O /etc/init.d/shadowsocks https://mirror.scorpwill.com/init.d/shadowsocks
