frp-tunnel 1.1.5

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

⚡ Quick Start

Install

pip install frp-tunnel

Start Server (One-time setup)

# Auto-generates token and config
ft server

# Output:
# 🚀 Starting server...
# 🔑 Generated token: frp_abc123...
# ✅ Server started

Connect Client

# First time - specify server and token
ft client --server YOUR_SERVER_IP --token YOUR_TOKEN --port 6003

# Multiple ports (SSH + RDP)
ft client --server YOUR_SERVER_IP --token YOUR_TOKEN --port 6003 --port 6004

# Add more ports later (reuses existing config)
ft client-add-port 6005 6006

# Remove ports
ft client-remove-port 6005

# Then SSH normally
ssh -p 6003 user@YOUR_SERVER_IP

🎮 Commands

# Server
ft server              # Start server (auto-gen token)
ft server -f           # Force restart
ft server -r           # Restart
ft server-status       # Show server status

# Client

ft client-add-port 6005 6006    # Add ports to existing config
ft client-remove-port 6005      # Remove ports
ft client-status                # Show client status

# Forward to frpc/frps
ft frpc -c ~/data/frp/frpc.yaml           # Start client
ft frpc reload -c ~/data/frp/frpc.yaml    # Hot reload
ft frps -c ~/data/frp/frps.yaml           # Start server

# Utilities
ft token               # Generate new token

🔧 Configuration

Server Config (~/data/frp/frps.yaml)

bindPort: 7000
auth:
  token: frp_your_token_here
webServer:
  addr: 0.0.0.0
  port: 7500
  user: admin
  password: admin
log:
  to: ~/data/frp/frps.log
  level: info

Client Config (~/data/frp/frpc.yaml)

serverAddr: YOUR_SERVER_IP
serverPort: 7000
auth:
  token: frp_your_token_here
log:
  to: ~/data/frp/frpc.log
  level: info
webServer:
  addr: 127.0.0.1
  port: 7400
proxies:
  - name: ssh_6003
    type: tcp
    localIP: 127.0.0.1
    localPort: 22
    remotePort: 6003
  - name: rdp_6004
    type: tcp
    localIP: 127.0.0.1
    localPort: 3389
    remotePort: 6004

Note: Both server and client use YAML format (INI is deprecated in FRP 0.52+). The webServer section enables hot reload and dashboard access.

Use ft client-add-port and ft client-remove-port commands to manage ports easily.

🌟 Features

• ✅ Auto-download FRP binaries (no manual installation)
• ✅ Auto-generate token and config
• ✅ YAML config - Modern format with hot reload support
• ✅ Multiple ports - SSH, RDP, or any service
• ✅ Easy port management - add/remove ports without editing config
• ✅ Hot reload - Update config without disconnecting SSH
• ✅ Background mode - runs as daemon
• ✅ Multi-platform - Windows, Linux, macOS
• ✅ Dashboard - Web UI at port 7500
• ✅ API support - Query client status via REST API
• ✅ Systemd integration - Auto-start on Linux boot
• ✅ Health monitoring - Windows client with auto-monitoring (5.5h runtime limit)

🛠️ Advanced Usage

Systemd Service (Linux Server)

# Enable auto-start on boot
sudo systemctl enable frps.service
sudo systemctl start frps.service
sudo systemctl status frps.service

The service file is automatically created at /etc/systemd/system/frps.service and will restart the server automatically if it crashes.

Windows Client Monitoring

The Windows boot script includes automatic monitoring:

• Creates C:\running.txt as a health check file
• Monitors FRP client status every 50 seconds
• Auto-stops after 5.5 hours runtime
• Deleting C:\running.txt will stop the monitoring loop

Hot Reload (No SSH Disconnection)

# Start client with webServer enabled (auto-configured)
ft frpc -c ~/data/frp/frpc.yaml &

# Add/remove ports
ft client-add-port 6005 6006
ft client-remove-port 6004

# Hot reload - no SSH disconnection!
ft frpc reload -c ~/data/frp/frpc.yaml

Multiple Ports

Use commands to manage ports easily:

# Add multiple ports at once
ft client-add-port 6005 6006 6007

# Remove specific ports
ft client-remove-port 6005

# Or edit config manually: ~/data/frp/frpc.yaml

Dashboard Access

Visit http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:7500 (admin/admin)

API Access

curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:7500/api/proxy/tcp

📋 Requirements

• Server: Any Linux VPS (Google Cloud, AWS, DigitalOcean, etc.)
• Ports: Open ports 6000-6010 and 7000, 7500 on your server
• Client: Any computer with SSH
