-    server_port     server port
-    local_port      local port
-    password        a password used to encrypt transfer
-    timeout         in seconds
-    method          encryption method, "bf-cfb", "aes-256-cfb", "des-cfb", "rc4", etc. Default is table, which is not secure. "aes-256-cfb" is recommended

-Encryption
-------------
+Wiki
+----
 
-Default encryption method table, which is not secure, is not recommended. Please use "aes-256-cfb" or "bf-cfb". "rc4" is not secure, either, please don't use it.
-
-List of all encryption methods:
-
-- aes-128-cfb
-- aes-192-cfb
-- aes-256-cfb
-- bf-cfb
-- camellia-128-cfb
-- camellia-192-cfb
-- camellia-256-cfb
-- cast5-cfb
-- des-cfb
-- idea-cfb
-- rc2-cfb
-- rc4
-- seed-cfb
-- table
-
-**If you want to use encryption method other than "table", please install [M2Crypto](http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/MeTooCrypto).**
-
-Ubuntu:
-
-    apt-get install python-m2crypto
-
-Others:
-
-    apt-get install openssl-dev swig
-    pip install M2Crypto
-
-Please notice that some encryption methods are not available on some environments.

-Performance
-------------
-
-You may want to install gevent for better performance.
-
-    $ sudo apt-get install python-gevent
-
-Or:
-
-    $ sudo apt-get install libevent-dev python-pip
-    $ sudo pip install gevent
-
-If both of your server and client are deployed on Linux 3.7+, you can turn on
-fast_open for lower latency.
-
-    echo 3 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen
