### Shadowsocks Fields

#### network

Listen network, one of `tcp` `udp`.

Both if empty.

| none          | /                                   |
| 2022 methods  | `openssl rand -base64 <Key Length>` |
| other methods | any string                          |

### Listen Fields

#### listen

==Required==

Listen address.

#### listen_port

==Required==

Listen port.

#### tcp_fast_open

Enable tcp fast open for listener.

#### sniff

Enable sniffing.

See [Sniff](/configuration/route/sniff/) for details.

#### sniff_override_destination

Override the connection destination address with the sniffed domain.

If the domain name is invalid (like tor), this will not work.

#### domain_strategy

One of `prefer_ipv4` `prefer_ipv6` `ipv4_only` `ipv6_only`.

If set, the requested domain name will be resolved to IP before routing.

If `sniff_override_destination` is in effect, its value will be taken as a fallback.

#### udp_timeout

UDP NAT expiration time in seconds, default is 300 (5 minutes).

#### proxy_protocol

Parse [Proxy Protocol](https://www.haproxy.org/download/1.8/doc/proxy-protocol.txt) in the connection header.
