Snell is a lightweight and secure proxy client designed for bypassing network restrictions. To use Snell on Windows, you need to follow several steps, including setting up a Snell server and configuring the Snell client. Below are the general steps:

Prerequisites:

  1. Download Snell Client:
    • Obtain the Snell client executable for Windows. You can find it on GitHub or other sources. Ensure that you download it from a trusted and reputable source.
  2. Access to a Snell Server:
    • You need access to a server running the Snell protocol. This could be your own server or a server provided by a Snell service.

Steps to Use Snell on Windows:

1. Download Snell Client:

  • Download the Snell client executable for Windows from a trusted source.

2. Open a Command Prompt:

  • Open the Command Prompt on your Windows machine. You can do this by searching for “Command Prompt” in the Start menu.

3. Navigate to the Snell Client Directory:

  • Use the cd command to navigate to the directory where you have placed the Snell client executable. For example:
    bash
    cd path\to\snell

4. Run Snell Client:

  • Run the Snell client with the necessary parameters. The basic command looks like this:
    bash
    snell-client.exe -i local_address:local_port -s snell_server_address:snell_server_port -k snell_secret
    • Replace local_address and local_port with the local address and port where the Snell client will listen (e.g., 127.0.0.1:1080).
    • Replace snell_server_address and snell_server_port with the address and port of your Snell server.
    • Replace snell_secret with the secret key shared between the client and server.
  • Example:
    bash
    snell-client.exe -i 127.0.0.1:1080 -s your_snell_server_address:your_snell_server_port -k your_snell_secret

5. Configure Your Applications:

  • After running the Snell client, configure your applications to use the Snell proxy. This is usually done in the application settings, where you provide the proxy address (127.0.0.1) and port (the local port specified in the Snell client command).

6. Verify the Connection:

  • You can verify that the connection is working by accessing a service that would otherwise be restricted or by checking your IP address.

Important Considerations:

  • Security:
    • Ensure that your Snell server is secure and properly configured. Use strong authentication with the shared secret key.
  • Firewall Configuration:
    • Ensure that the necessary ports are open on both your local machine and the Snell server.
  • Use of Snell Server:
    • Be aware of the terms of service of the Snell server, especially if you are using a public server.
  • Privacy and Legality:
    • Always use Snell and similar tools in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Respect the privacy and terms of service of the networks you are accessing.

Keep in mind that using proxy tools may violate the terms of service of your network provider or the owner of the server. Always ensure that you have proper authorization and comply with applicable laws and regulations.
