移植到 UWP 平台的可行性探讨

[bdbai]

1. 基于原生 UWP VPN API
   之前 @Noisyfox 在 请问有没有计划推出Windows10Mobile客户端？ shadowsocks-windows#862 表示微软没有把文档放出来。事实上 MSDN 文档已经有了，只是描述不够清晰，也没有例子。按照前人在 iOS 上的做法，我大概有了一点点思路，但目前并没有着手实现。欢迎一起探讨。
2. 桌面到通用 Windows 平台 (UWP) 桥
   如果完全抛弃移动版用户，用这种方法也许可以少走些弯路，不过要牺牲掉一些 Win32 特性。

Our engineering team are working on publishing the VPN plug-in sample in MSDN

@BestOwl I'm wondering if their engineering team are really working on it, or maybe we are deserted.

[Noisyfox]

@bdbai I was thinking about the same question.

I sent them a message on Twitter. Waiting to hear back.

All my UWP apps are useless. 有很多的APP不可以用：

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Instagram
• SoundCloud
• Messenger
  。。。。

@florianmonfort have you tried Proxifier as a workaround?

[florianmonfort]

I believe Shadowsocks client already uses Proxifier? Every time something goes wrong with my server I can see a Proxifier error in my browser, so I'm not sure why you're suggesting to use it?

By the way, some Microsoft guy's response on Twitter:

[florianmonfort]

@celeron533 I just looked at Proxifier's download page:

It clearly states for downloads for Windows 10*: Windows Desktop applications only

[celeron533]

Hi @florianmonfort , sorry I haven't tried it on my personal Win10 environment.

Windows 10*: Windows Desktop applications only

IMO, perhaps it only means the Proxifier application itself is winform/mfc based not UWP but still could be used for redirecting other UWP Apps' network usage (unconfirmed, just my personal assumption)

[celeron533]

Nop, shadowsocks-windows uses Privoxy to adapt HTTP proxy to SOCKS5 protocol. Because not all the applications support socks5 proxy.

I believe Shadowsocks client already uses Proxifier? Every time something goes wrong with my server I can see a Proxifier error in my browser, so I'm not sure why you're suggesting to use it?

也有这个想法，跑来官方的repo想找有没有能够移植的代码，就看到了这个issue。

其实如果要是移植到UWP的话，最好还是支持MOBILE。因为这样意义就更加大了，否则其实如果已经有一个稳定的经典windows客户端，要去重新造一个轮子好像也没什么意义。

现在问题就是官方的文档描述不是很清晰，没有给相关的例程。

其实我觉得这些问题都不大，问题是到底能不能有一个sslocal稳定的在后台运行，不会被杀掉或者挂起，这是最重要的。

[JamesMackerel]

另外，请问一下从哪里能看到这个项目的基本架构……我刚刚看了两小时都没想出怎么把ss的部分抽出来。

[Noisyfox]

是我肯定从头写，不会基于现在的win版开发uwp版。
