Hi,

I wrote an Shadowsocks client for Ubuntu Touch. I want to submit the App to
OpenStore, so more people can use it.

Shadowsocks(https://shadowsocks.org) is a secure socks5 proxy. I'm from
China. Because some reasons, we visit foreign website very slowly. Some
people will use VPN to visit foreign website. And Shadowsocks is an other
way like VPN as a proxy to visit foreign website faster. I knew that Ubuntu
Touch had supported VPN at OTA-10, but it just support OpenVPN protocol and
the PPTP/L2TP protocol will be supported later. So I wrote this App for
people like me always use shadowsocks to make it faster visit foreign
website.

The reason why I can't publish it in the office store, is that I must use
the "unconfined" template to make the App has permissions to modify and
configure networks. And in the App, it will request password of the Phone
when start up the shadowsocks service. Because it will call the command
"iptable" as a root user to modify network. But it will never remember or
upload user information or password.

Before I write this email, I have sent this App to some people in China for
test. And They are very happy that I wrote this App, so that they can use
Google Services like sync address book from google service and so on.

The source code is here: https://github.com/dawndiy/shadowsocks-ubuntu
The click package is here:

I wish it can be published at the Open Store, and more people can use it.
:)

Thank you.
