Snell

Snell is a proxy protocol designed for high speed, low latency and stealth, created by Chinese developers. Snell aims to provide faster and more stable network connections than existing proxy protocols (such as Shadowsocks and VMess), while having high stealth and being difficult to detect and block. The following is a detailed introduction to Snell:

Features of Snell

• High performance: Snell is designed with a focus on speed and low latency, suitable for applications with high bandwidth requirements, such as high-definition video streaming, online games, etc.
• Stealth: Snell obfuscates and encrypts traffic, making its traffic look like ordinary network traffic, making it difficult to detect and block.
• Simple configuration: Snell is relatively simple to configure and deploy, and users can get started quickly.
• Cross-platform support: Snell supports multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, etc., making it convenient for users to use on different devices.

Working principle

The working principle of Snell is similar to other proxy protocols, mainly including the following steps:

• Client configuration: The user configures the Snell client locally and specifies the address, port, key and other information of the Snell server to be connected.
• Server configuration: Deploy the Snell server on the remote server, set the listening port and verification key, etc.
• Connection establishment: The client and the server establish a connection through an encrypted channel to ensure the security and concealment of data transmission.
• Data transmission: Once the connection is established, all traffic from the client will be forwarded through the Snell server, thereby achieving scientific Internet access and privacy protection.

Application scenarios

• Scientific Internet access: Through Snell, users can bypass network censorship and regional restrictions and access blocked content and services.
• Privacy protection: Snell's encryption and obfuscation technology ensures that users' network traffic is not monitored and analyzed, improving privacy and security.
• High-bandwidth applications: Due to its high performance, Snell is very suitable for application scenarios that require high bandwidth and low latency, such as video streaming, online games, etc.

Relationship with other proxy protocols

Snell is similar to proxy protocols such as Shadowsocks, VMess, and Trojan. They are all tools designed to bypass network censorship and protect privacy. In contrast, Snell focuses more on high performance and concealment, and is suitable for users who have high requirements for speed and stability. Although Snell's current scope of use and popularity may not be as wide as other protocols, its superior performance and concealment make it the choice of many users.

Summary

Snell is a high-performance, high-concealment proxy protocol suitable for users who need fast and stable network connections. Its simple configuration and deployment process allows users to quickly get started and use it on multiple operating systems. With Snell, users can achieve scientific Internet access, protect privacy, and meet the needs of high-bandwidth applications.
