Quick Start

frp is easier to use compared with other similar projects.

We will use a simple demo to demonstrate how to create a connection to server A's ssh port by server B with public IP address x.x.x.x(replace to the real IP address of your server).

Download SourceCode

go get github.com/fatedier/frp is recommended, then the code will be copied to the directory $GOPATH/src/github.com/fatedier/frp.

Or you can use git clone https://github.com/fatedier/frp.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/fatedier/frp.

Compile

Enter the root directory and execute make, then wait until finished.

bin include all executable programs when conf include corresponding configuration files.

Pre-requirement

• Go environment. Version of go >= 1.4.
• Godep (if not exist, go get will be executed to download godep when compiling)

Deploy

1. Move ./bin/frps and ./conf/frps.ini to any directory of server B.
2. Move ./bin/frpc and ./conf/frpc.ini to any directory of server A.
3. Modify all configuration files, details in next paragraph.
4. Execute nohup ./frps & or nohup ./frps -c ./frps.ini & in server B.
5. Execute nohup ./frpc & or nohup ./frpc -c ./frpc.ini & in server A.
6. Use ssh -oPort=6000 {user}@x.x.x.x to test if frp is work(replace {user} to real username in server A).

Configuration files

frps.ini

[common]
bind_addr = 0.0.0.0
# for accept connections from frpc
bind_port = 7000
log_file = ./frps.log
log_level = info

# test is the custom name of proxy and there can be many proxies with unique name in one configure file
[test]
passwd = 123
bind_addr = 0.0.0.0
# finally we connect to server A by this port
listen_port = 6000

frpc.ini

[common]
# server address of frps
server_addr = x.x.x.x
server_port = 7000
log_file = ./frpc.log
log_level = info

# test is proxy name same with configure in frps.ini
[test]
passwd = 123
# local port which need to be transferred
local_port = 22
