It runs on a host with a reachable address and accepts frpc client connections so private services can be exposed through TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, and related proxy modes. ### Project history frp was created on GitHub in 2015 and developed as a paired client/server tunneling system. The upstream README describes the architecture in terms of frps on a public server and frpc on a LAN host that cannot be directly reached from the Internet. The project has continued through frequent 0.x releases while the maintainers discuss a future v2 design. In the v0.69 line, the release notes formalized a compatibility policy and introduced a versioned wire protocol between frpc and frps. ### Adoption history frps is packaged separately because server operators often need only the public relay component. That packaging mirrors real deployments where frps may live on a VPS while many clients connect from private networks. frp's large GitHub audience and broad binary release matrix helped make frps a common choice in self-hosting, homelab, NAT traversal, and remote-access workflows. ### How it is used A common frps setup is to place the binary and server TOML configuration on a public host, configure a bind port, and then allow frpc clients to register proxies through it. Server-side features include dashboards, authentication, port controls, TCP multiplexing, protocol support, and management plugins. The server is the upgrade anchor in mixed-version deployments: the v0.69.0 release notes tell users to upgrade frps before frpc when moving through protocol changes. ### Why package nerds care frps matters to package history because it is a role-specific binary from a larger Go upstream. Separate packaging lets a server image or host install the relay daemon without implying that local client tunnel definitions should also be present. ### Timeline - 2015: The frp GitHub repository was created. - 2017: Public GitHub releases show established v0.x binary distribution. - 2026: v0.69.0 introduced the compatibility policy and versioned wire protocol. - 2026: v0.69.1 refined protocol behavior for UDP-family proxy payloads. ### Related projects - frpc is the client counterpart shipped by the same upstream frp project. - The upstream README relates future v2 work to cloud-native proxy and service-mesh ideas, including Envoy-like extensibility. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. formula declares a Homebrew service. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal - formula declares a Homebrew service ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** frps - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [node](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/node/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [frpc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/frpc/) - Shares the same upstream source repository. - [gost](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gost/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, proxy, reverse-proxy, tunnel. - [dante](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dante/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, proxy, server. - [haproxy](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/haproxy/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, proxy, reverse-proxy. - [microsocks](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/microsocks/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, proxy, server. - [mihomo](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mihomo/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, proxy, tunnel. - [nylon](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nylon/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, proxy, server. - [overtls](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/overtls/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, proxy, tunnel. - [rathole](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rathole/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
