About:
Frps is the server component of the frp (fast reverse proxy) system, designed to expose services behind NAT or firewalls to the public internet. It listens for connections from frpc clients and forwards traffic to the target services securely. This enables remote access to local web servers, SSH, RDP, and other TCP/UDP applications without port forwarding.
Key Features:
  • TCP/UDP tunneling with multiplexing
  • Proxy protocol and TLS support
  • HTTP(S) subdomain and routing features
  • Authentication, traffic encryption, and access control
  • Dashboard/metrics for monitoring and management
Use Cases:
  • Expose local development servers to the internet for testing or demos
  • Enable remote access to home/office services behind NAT
  • Securely bridge internal services across networks
Alternatives:
  • ngrok – SaaS with easy ephemeral tunnels; frps is self-hosted and customizable
  • Cloudflare Tunnel (cloudflared) – Integrates with Cloudflare edge; frps is vendor-neutral and self-managed
  • Tailscale – VPN mesh networking; frps focuses on tunneling specific ports/services
