Historique du projet

frp began as an open-source Go reverse-proxy and tunneling project in late 2015. Its official documentation and README present frpc and frps as the two halves of the system: the client configuration lives with the internal service, while the server accepts client connections and publishes TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, and related proxy modes.

The project has remained pre-1.0 while continuing regular feature releases. The maintainers describe ongoing v2 work and compatibility concerns in the README, and the v0.69.0 release introduced an explicit wire-protocol setting as a transition path for future frpc/frps protocol changes.

Historique d'adoption

frpc became widely packaged because it solves a common self-hosting and operations problem: reaching a machine that cannot accept inbound connections. Homebrew packages frpc separately from frps, matching the operational split between client nodes and public relay servers.

The upstream project distributes cross-platform release archives for macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, and other targets, and the GitHub project has over 100,000 stars, making frp one of the better-known open-source tunneling tools.

Modes d'utilisation

A typical frpc workflow is to put frps on a public server, configure frpc with that server address and one or more local services, then start frpc with a TOML configuration file. The official README includes SSH, web-service, DNS, Unix-domain-socket, HTTPS, private-service, and P2P examples.

The client side is also where users configure proxy definitions, local IPs and ports, plugins, authentication parameters, optional compression or encryption, and newer transport settings such as the frpc/frps wire protocol.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

For package maintainers, frpc is interesting because it is one binary from a larger upstream release but has a distinct operational role. Splitting it into a client package lets users install only the private-side tunnel agent on laptops, home servers, CI boxes, or LAN hosts.

Chronologie

• 2015: The frp GitHub repository was created.
• 2017: Public GitHub releases were already publishing frp binaries in the v0.x series.
• 2026: v0.69.0 documented a compatibility window and introduced the versioned frpc/frps wire protocol.
• 2026: v0.69.1 refined UDP and SUDP behavior for the new wire protocol.
