Hey everyone,
Wow, thanks so much for all the replies! 🙌 I tried the auth setup using the `/etc/opt/ss5/ss5.conf` file, and it worked! Still tweaking the speed settings, though. I reduced the timeout values like some of you suggested, and it’s better, but not perfect.
Quick follow-up: anyone know if there’s a way to monitor ss5 linux performance in real-time? Like, a tool or command that shows active connections or bandwidth usage?
Thanks again, y’all are legends! 🚀

Hey! I struggled with ss5 linux too. For auth, you need to enable it in the config and then add users in the `ss5.passwd` file. Speed-wise, try disabling logging if you don’t need it. It frees up resources. Also, this guide [link] helped me a ton.
