Shadowsocks is a light secure socks5 proxy, you can use it to fake the IP address when you try to use some services like Youtube which have area limitations. In China, you can use it to visit the websites or services like Twitter, Youtube which are blocked by the GFW

Buy a serve

First you should have a serve in other countries that you want, you can use like Bandwagon, Digitocean and other providers.

Different providers have different ways to install a system, please follow the provider’s instructions. As the system,I recommend Ubuntu14.04(x64)

Install python-pip

First login in to the system, (If your provider provides the X-window, open the terminal, then use these commands below), if it didn’t, just use these commands below:
