Glad to see we have two shadowsocks implementation in Rust!

I just wanted to say that this is a very important project for many people, I won't go into the details but Google Shadowsocks you will know what I mean. Thank you everyone who keeps pushing the project forward.

Cool!

I currently use the Python version of the server (installed using pip) and it works well. Would I gain anything by using this implementation instead? Does 'async udp' do anything to improve throughput or latency, assuming I'm still using the same clients (e.g. Potatso on iOS and Shadowsocks one Android)?

The Python version is a great implementation with extremely fast speed, and the Rust version has no advantage in speed or functionality. But the Rust version has more possibilities, it don't need OpenSSL to support multiple encryption methods, so it would be easier to cross-platform.

Good, more alternatives. I use shadowsocks-libev version written in c, https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev . But I can see how this might be nice.

Always cool to see new implementations of SOCKS.
