frp is a fast reverse proxy written in Go that lets you expose services running behind NAT or firewalls to the public internet. It supports TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS and a P2P mode for direct connections.

Use cases

• Expose a local web server to the internet for testing or demos.
• Access a home SSH service from outside your LAN without opening ports.
• Create a secure tunnel for TCP or UDP applications behind a firewall.
• Share multiple internal services over a single public port.
• Provide temporary public URLs for development servers.
• Enable remote access to IoT devices located behind NAT.

When to choose

• You need a lightweight, self‑hosted reverse proxy with minimal configuration.
• Your services are behind NAT or restrictive firewalls and you require direct exposure.
• You prefer an open‑source solution that runs on multiple OS platforms.
• You want a fast, Go‑based tool with support for both TCP/UDP and HTTP/HTTPS.

When to avoid

• You require a fully managed cloud tunneling service with built‑in authentication and billing.
• You need a graphical UI or deep integration with existing load balancers.
• Your use case demands advanced traffic routing, rate limiting, or service mesh features.
