Self-hosted Proxy or Just My Socks: Which Route Should You Take?自建 SS / V2Ray / Clash，还是直接买 Just My Socks？
If you only want to use a node today, open a Just My Socks plan first. If you are ready to maintain a VPS, firewall and clients, this page explains the self-hosting route without pretending it is maintenance-free.如果你今天就想用，先打开 Just My Socks 套餐入口更省事；如果你愿意维护 VPS、防火墙和客户端，再看这篇自建路线说明。

Practical recommendation实际建议
Self-host if the project itself is the point. Buy JMS if the point is to get a managed node and spend your time choosing a region instead of maintaining Linux, firewall rules and client profiles.如果自建本身就是目标，就自建；如果目标只是拿到可用托管节点，就买 JMS，把时间花在选地区，而不是维护 Linux、防火墙和客户端配置。
Where I would start先从哪个入口看
Choose maintenance or convenience first; the plan table comes after that decision.先选维护还是省事，再看套餐入口。

The real cost is maintenance真正的成本是维护
A self-hosted proxy is not just a one-time install. You own the operating system, firewall, service process, client profile, backup notes and future breakage.自建不是装完一次就结束。系统、防火墙、服务进程、客户端配置、备份记录和后续故障，都要你自己负责。
That control is useful when you know exactly what you need. It is annoying when all you wanted was a working node before opening a browser or an app.当你很清楚自己要什么时，自建的可控性很好；但如果你只是想先有一个可用节点，这些维护工作会很烦。
How SS, SSR, V2Ray and Clash fit togetherSS、SSR、V2Ray 和 Clash 分别负责什么
Shadowsocks is usually the simplest server-side route. V2Ray/Xray gives more transport choices, but it also adds more configuration. ShadowsocksR is mainly for legacy setups, not a clean default for new users.Shadowsocks 通常是最简单的服务端路线。V2Ray/Xray 可选传输更多，但配置也更复杂。ShadowsocksR 更像旧方案延续，不适合作为新手默认选择。
Clash is the client side of the story. It helps you import nodes and split traffic by rules, but it still needs nodes from either your own server or a provider.Clash 是客户端这一侧的工具。它负责导入节点和规则分流，但节点仍然来自你的自建服务器，或者来自服务商。
A practical decision rule一个简单判断方法
If you do self-host, keep a small checklist: where the server is, which port is open, how the service restarts, where logs live and how to revoke or rotate a client profile.如果决定自建，建议保留一张小清单：服务器在哪、开放了哪个端口、服务怎么重启、日志在哪里、客户端配置怎么撤销或更换。
If that checklist already feels like a chore, use a managed Just My Socks plan and spend your time comparing region, stock and checkout price instead.如果这张清单看起来已经很折腾，那就直接用 Just My Socks，把时间花在比较地区、库存和结账价上。

FAQ常见问题
Is self-hosting always better than buying Just My Socks?自建一定比买 Just My Socks 更好吗？
A VPS gives more control and also makes you responsible for updates, firewall rules, ports, logs, client profiles and outage checks.VPS 自建可控性更高，同时需要自己负责系统更新、防火墙、端口、日志、客户端配置和故障排查。
When should I choose Just My Socks instead?什么时候更适合直接买 JMS？
If you want a ready-to-import subscription without server maintenance, choose a managed Just My Socks plan. LA 500 is the best low-cost default; HK CMI+NTT 500 is the regional alternative.如果你想直接导入订阅且不维护服务器，就选择 Just My Socks。LA 500 是低成本默认方案，HK CMI+NTT 500 是区域浏览备选。
Can Clash replace a server?Clash 能代替服务器吗？
Clash is mainly a client and rule engine. It still needs nodes from your own server or a provider such as Just My Socks.Clash 主要是客户端和规则分流工具，本身不是服务端。你仍然需要自建节点，或者使用 Just My Socks 这类服务提供的节点。
Should a new user still deploy SSR?新手还适合部署 SSR 吗？
For a new setup, Shadowsocks or a maintained V2Ray/Xray setup is usually easier to reason about. ShadowsocksR is mostly a legacy choice.新搭建一般更容易从 Shadowsocks 或仍在维护的 V2Ray/Xray 路线开始。ShadowsocksR 更多是旧环境迁移或历史配置场景。
What skill level does self-hosting need?自建需要什么基础？
You need at least basic Linux comfort: SSH login, service restart, firewall changes, reading logs and keeping packages updated.至少要能处理基础 Linux 操作：SSH 登录、服务重启、防火墙修改、查看日志和系统更新。
How does the coupon fit into this choice?优惠码和自建选择有什么关系？
