FRP: Secure Tunneling for Network Connections

Open-source software for establishing secure tunnels between networks behind NAT or firewalls, forwarding traffic through a client-server connection

What is Frp?

frp is open-source software that enables secure connections between different networks across NATs and firewalls. It works by establishing a secure tunnel between an frp client running on the local network and an frp server running on a public cloud server or VPS.

The frp client connects out to the frp server and creates a reverse proxy that allows external access to services running on the local private network. This allows exposing local web servers, databases, SSH servers etc to the public internet without having to make changes to firewall rules.

Some key features of frp include:

• Secure encrypted tunnels between client and server using TLS
• Support for TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS and reverse proxy connections
• Load balancing for distributing traffic across multiple backend servers
• Custom subdomain names for exposed services
• Authentication between client and server
• Bandwidth throttling and limit controls
• Simple setup with configuration files

frp provides a flexible and secure way to access local services remotely without VPNs. It only exposes selected services instead of the entire network. As it doesn't require special hardware or software support, frp can work on most networks and is great for remote access needs.
