About:
FRPC is the client component of the frp (Fast Reverse Proxy) system. It connects to a public frps server to bridge your local network services with the internet. This allows you to securely expose local web servers, SSH, RDP, and other TCP/UDP ports without complex router configuration.
Key Features:
  • Supports TCP/UDP and HTTP/HTTPS protocols with port forwarding
  • Includes P2P mode for direct connections to reduce server load
  • Provides robust authentication and encryption for secure tunnels
  • Configurable via simple INI or TOML configuration files
Use Cases:
  • Exposing local web development servers to the internet for client demos
  • Providing remote access to home or office devices behind NAT/firewalls
  • Reverse proxying internal services without exposing your IP address
Alternatives:
  • ngrok – ngrok offers simpler setup but requires a paid plan for persistent tunnels and advanced features
  • cloudflared – Cloudflare's tunnel service integrates with their CDN and security stack but requires a Cloudflare account
  • localtunnel – Localtunnel is free and open-source but lacks some of frp's advanced protocol support and performance features
