| Price | none stated |

| Egress | not published |
| Identity | anonymous the software needs no account |
| Binding | volume-quota the software imposes no limit, so what runs out first is the monthly egress allowance of the host it runs on, and that host is a separate provider with its own bill |
| Interface | cli frpc against your own frps |
| Tooling | frp |
| Composes with | composes only with a server the client pays for, so it belongs in the self-host lane and not the free one. |
| Reliability | no credible free public frps was found; every 'free frp server' lead was a VPS advertisement |
| Notes | A tool rather than a service, recorded so a reader searching for free tunnels meets that fact. Corrected 2026-10-23: the row was qualifies, which read as a free service. The software is free and the path is not, because it needs a host the client does not own. It is usable only on a rented or free compute service, and that service is the finding, not frp. |
| Evidence rung | measured frps and frpc 0.71.1 ran on this host: a 4,194,304-byte object read back through the TCP proxy byte-identically, sha256 46386cf4dbccceb80f80148d46d37f1a30d72912089cfbe4b3e51d9d55a79747, 42.91 MiB/s against a 38.73 MiB/s direct baseline. No hosted free tier exists, so this measures the software and not a service |
