frp-tunnel 1.0.4

Easy SSH tunneling with FRP - One command setup for Google Colab and remote servers

🚀 FRP Tunnel - SSH Access Made Easy

中文文档 | English

Connect to Google Colab or any remote server via SSH in 30 seconds. No complex setup needed!

🎯 What This Does

• Problem: Can't SSH into Google Colab or access remote servers behind firewalls
• Solution: Creates a secure tunnel so you can SSH from anywhere
• Result: Use your favorite tools (VS Code, file transfer, etc.) with remote servers

🏗️ How It Works

┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐
│   Local Client  │    │   GCP Server    │    │  Google Colab   │
│  (Any Platform) │    │   (frps:7000)   │    │  (frpc+SSH)     │

                         FRP Tunnel Forwarding
                      6001-6010 → Target:22

⚡ Quick Start (3 Steps)

Step 1: Install

pip install frp-tunnel

Step 2: Set Up Server (One-time)

# On your VPS/cloud server
frp-tunnel setup

Follow the prompts - it takes 30 seconds

Step 3: Connect from Anywhere

# Google Colab (paste in notebook)
!pip install frp-tunnel && frp-tunnel colab --server YOUR_SERVER_IP --token YOUR_TOKEN

# Your computer
frp-tunnel client --server YOUR_SERVER_IP --token YOUR_TOKEN

# Then SSH normally
ssh -p 6001 colab@YOUR_SERVER_IP

🔧 Real-World Examples

Example 1: Access Google Colab Files

# In Colab notebook
!pip install frp-tunnel && frp-tunnel colab --server 34.123.45.67 --token abc123

# On your computer
ssh -p 6001 colab@34.123.45.67
# Now you can browse files, upload/download, use git, etc.

Example 2: VS Code Remote Development

1. Set up tunnel (steps above)
2. In VS Code: Install "Remote-SSH" extension
3. Connect to colab@YOUR_SERVER_IP:6001
4. Code directly in Colab with full VS Code features!

Example 3: Multiple Connections

# Colab 1
frp-tunnel colab --server YOUR_IP --token YOUR_TOKEN --port 6001

# Colab 2  
frp-tunnel colab --server YOUR_IP --token YOUR_TOKEN --port 6002

# Your laptop
frp-tunnel client --server YOUR_IP --token YOUR_TOKEN --port 6003

🛠️ Troubleshooting (Common Issues)

"Connection refused"

# Check if server is running
ssh YOUR_SERVER_IP "ps aux | grep frps"

"Permission denied"

# Make sure you're using the right port
ssh -p 6001 colab@YOUR_SERVER_IP  # Not port 22!

"Token mismatch"

# Get the token from your server
ssh YOUR_SERVER_IP "cat ~/data/frp/frps.ini | grep token"

📋 What You Need

• Server: Any Linux VPS (Google Cloud, AWS, DigitalOcean, etc.)
• Ports: Open ports 6001-6010 and 7000 on your server
• Client: Any computer with SSH (Windows/Mac/Linux)

Quick Server Setup (GCP/AWS)

# Open firewall ports
gcloud compute firewall-rules create frp-tunnel --allow tcp:6001-6010,tcp:7000

# Or for AWS
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id sg-xxxxx --protocol tcp --port 6001-6010 --cidr 0.0.0.0/0

🎉 That's It!

No complex configuration files, no networking knowledge needed. Just install, run, and connect!
