How do I run frp Server (frps) on a Mac?
frp exposes services behind NAT or a firewall through a server you control. frps runs on a machine with a public address (a VPS, or a router-forwarded host); clients (frpc) connect out to it on :7000 and publish TCP/UDP/HTTP/HTTPS ports through it. The self-hosted alternative to ngrok or Cloudflare Tunnel when you want no third party in the path. brew install frps, edit $(brew --prefix)/etc/frp/frps.toml, then start it as a service. Set auth.token before exposing it, and the optional web dashboard (webServer.port, commonly :7500) needs a password.
