NPS Enhanced is a lightweight, actively maintained NAT traversal and reverse proxy system with a Web management UI, based on the original ehang-io/nps project. It exposes services behind NAT or firewalls via TCP/UDP forwarding, HTTP/HTTPS reverse proxy, SOCKS5, and P2P tunnels.

Use cases

• expose a home lab service behind NAT to the public internet
• self-host a web app without a public IP
• tunnel SSH or RDP through a firewall
• set up a SOCKS5 proxy through a remote server
• manage reverse proxy tunnels from a web dashboard
• replace frp for intranet penetration
• forward TCP and UDP ports from an internal network

When to choose

• you need a lightweight self-hosted tunnel with a web UI for managing clients and tunnels
• you want multi-protocol support (TCP, UDP, HTTP/HTTPS, SOCKS5, P2P) in one tool
• you want an actively maintained fork of the original NPS with modern features like HTTP/3 and Proxy Protocol

When to avoid

• you only need simple port forwarding on a router you control
• you need a managed cloud tunnel service with zero server setup
• you require enterprise-grade identity integration or advanced load balancing beyond a proxy/tunnel tool
