frp is a fast reverse proxy written in Go that exposes local servers behind NAT or firewalls to the internet. It supports TCP, UDP, HTTP, and HTTPS forwarding with domain-based routing, plus a P2P connect mode.

Use cases

• expose a local web server behind NAT to the internet
• access my home computer via SSH from outside
• tunnel internal services through a firewall
• forward HTTP requests to internal services by domain name
• set up a self-hosted tunnel without a VPN
• expose a local dev server for testing webhooks
• connect to devices on a LAN remotely
• enable HTTPS for a local HTTP service

When to choose

• you need to expose local services behind NAT or a firewall to the public internet
• you want a self-hosted alternative to ngrok or similar tunneling services
• you need TCP/UDP as well as HTTP/HTTPS forwarding with custom domains
• you want P2P connectivity to avoid relaying traffic through a server

When to avoid

• you only need a plain load-balancing reverse proxy in front of backend servers (use nginx or HAProxy)
• you need a managed tunneling service with zero server setup
• you require site-to-site VPN connectivity rather than per-service forwarding
