Step 1: Set Up FRP Server (frps) on VPS

This will act as the public-facing relay.

1. Download FRP

   wget https://github.com/fatedier/frp/releases/download/v0.61.2/frp_0.61.2_linux_amd64.tar.gz
   tar -xvzf frp_0.61.2_linux_amd64.tar.gz
   cd frp_0.61.2_linux_amd64

2. Configure frps

Edit the frps.ini file:

   nano frps.ini

Add the following configuration [Make sure to disable firewall]:

   [common]
bind_port = 7000
dashboard_enable = true
dashboard_port = 7500
dashboard_user = user
dashboard_pwd = password

# (Optional) TLS for encryption
# tls_only = true

# (Optional) Authentication for security
token = your-secret-token

You can disable dash by changing following line to

   dashboard_enable = false

3. Start FRP Server

Run:

   ./frps -c frps.ini

To run in the background [or use tmux]:

   nohup ./frps -c frps.ini > frps.log 2>&1 &

Step 2: Set Up FRP Client (frpc) on Local Machine

1. Download FRP

   wget https://github.com/fatedier/frp/releases/download/v0.61.2/frp_0.61.2_linux_amd64.tar.gz
   tar -xvzf frp_0.61.2_linux_amd64.tar.gz
   cd frp_0.61.2_linux_amd64

2. Configure frpc

Edit the frpc.ini file:

   nano frpc.ini

Example for exposing a local web server (e.g., minecraft server running on port 25565):

   [common]
server_addr = your-vps-ip
server_port = 7000
token = your-secret-token

[port_forward]
type = tcp
local_ip = 127.0.0.1
local_port = 25565
remote_port = 25565

3. Start FRP Client

Run:

   ./frpc -c frpc.ini

To run in the background [or use tmux]:

   nohup ./frpc -c frpc.ini > frpc.log 2>&1 &

4. Add More FRP Client

Edit the frpc.ini file:

   nano frpc.ini

Example for exposing two local web server (e.g., minecraft server running on port 25565 and port forwarding ssh running on port 22):

   [common]
server_addr = your-vps-ip
server_port = 7000
token = your-secret-token

[minecraft]
type = tcp
local_ip = 127.0.0.1
local_port = 25565
remote_port = 25565

[ssh]
type = tcp
local_ip = 127.0.0.1
local_port = 22
remote_port = 1234

make sure to use different names.

Run[After Closing Previous Session]:

   ./frpc -c frpc.ini

Or, When Using nohup :-

   pkill -f frpc

Then Run

   nohup ./frpc -c frpc.ini > frpc.log 2>&1 &

Done!

Now your local service should be accessible via the public VPS. 🚀
