MoonProxy main UI: real-time traffic chart + start button + public access URL + endpoint health indicators

A friendly desktop GUI for frp — the reverse-proxy / NAT-traversal tool. You bring your own frps server (self-hosted or any community frps you trust) — MoonProxy takes care of the rest: configuration, lifecycle, connection health, real-time traffic monitoring, auto-update, and a polished tray-resident experience.

No CLI, no hand-edited frpc.toml, no manual process management — purpose-built for individual developers, self-hosters, and remote workers who want frp without the terminal.

Highlights

🚀 Getting Started — zero config, out of the box

  • Bundled frpc sidecar — users never need to install frp separately.
  • Visual proxy management — TCP / UDP / HTTP / HTTPS rules in a single tab.
  • One-click start/stop — a start button reflects 4 states (stopped / connecting / connected / error); the connected state is derived from real frpc evidence, not optimistic flags.

⚙️ Running — stable, resident, hassle-free

  • Real-time traffic monitoring — home tab shows upload/download rate curves, connection count and cumulative traffic so you know your bandwidth usage.
  • Live endpoint health — local port reachability is polled at adaptive intervals (3→24s exponential backoff) so you catch broken tunnels before they bite you.
  • System tray resident — closing the window hides to tray while frpc keeps running in the background.
  • Launch at login + silent start — auto-launch can hide straight to tray.
  • Scheduled connect — pick weekdays and start/stop times; hot-reloaded each minute by the scheduler.

🔧 Maintenance — auto-upgraded, no reinstall

  • Engine self-update — frpc is fetched from upstream GitHub releases, SHA256-verified, then atomically swapped without reinstalling the app.
  • App self-update — built on tauri-plugin-updater.

Use Cases

Built for work — great for play:

  • Remote work — SSH / RDP into office machines behind NAT, without the VPN hassle.
  • Self-hosted services — temporarily expose NAS, Home Assistant, home media, or a personal blog.
  • Dev & webhook debugging — expose local ports for Webhook / OAuth / third-party callbacks.
  • Team tooling — share a local service with colleagues without a public IP or cloud VM.
  • More — Minecraft sessions with friends, Webhook callbacks, anything else you need to expose.

Relationship to frp

MoonProxy is an unofficial desktop GUI client for fatedier/frp and is independent from the frp project.

  • frp is the open-source reverse-proxy / NAT-traversal project maintained by fatedier.
  • MoonProxy does not modify frpc behavior — it handles configuration generation, subprocess lifecycle, and connection-state visualization only.
  • The frpc binary (v0.69.1) is bundled via Tauri's sidecar mechanism; users never install frp separately.
  • The frpc engine can auto-update from upstream frp GitHub releases, with atomic swap.

In short: frp provides the capability, MoonProxy provides the usability.

FAQ

What is MoonProxy?

MoonProxy (Chinese name: 月神代理) is a cross-platform FRP (Fast Reverse Proxy) tunnel desktop client for non-technical users, built on Tauri v2. It wraps frpc command-line complexity — config files, process management, health checks — into a graphical interface.

Which platforms does it support?

macOS (Apple Silicon aarch64 and Intel x64) and Windows (x64). Installers are published on GitHub Releases as DMG (macOS) and EXE (Windows).

Do I need to install frp separately?

No. MoonProxy bundles the frpc binary (currently v0.69.1) via Tauri's sidecar mechanism — it works out of the box.

Is MoonProxy open source?

Yes. MoonProxy is released under the MIT license, with source code and release cadence published on GitHub at MoonProxyHQ/moonproxy-desktop.

What does it add over the raw frp CLI?

Visual proxy rule management, a 4-state start button, real-time traffic monitoring (rate curves + connections + cumulative), endpoint health polling (adaptive intervals), system tray residency, launch-at-login with silent start, scheduled connect (by weekday and time window), automatic frpc engine updates from upstream GitHub Releases (SHA256-verified, atomic swap), and app self-updates.

Can I use it without an frps server?

MoonProxy only manages the frpc client side — you must supply your own frps server. Common options: ① self-host a machine with a public IP (a 1 vCPU / 2GB cloud VPS is enough); ② use a community-public frps node (evaluate trust and security yourself); ③ deploy a lightweight frps on serverless / cloud functions.

Is the traffic exposed via MoonProxy secure?

Security is provided by the frp protocol itself: communication uses TCP/TLS or KCP encryption, and authentication tokens are held by you. MoonProxy does not store or relay your application data — configs and tokens live only on your machine. Best practices: ① use a strong per-rule token; ② enable TLS encryption in frpc.toml (transport.tls.force = true); ③ enable the allowUsers whitelist on frps; ④ restrict exposed ports on the public side with a firewall.

How does MoonProxy differ from ZeroTier / Tailscale?

They cover different needs. ZeroTier / Tailscale are full-device mesh VPNs that pull all traffic into a virtual LAN; frp (what MoonProxy manages) is an on-demand reverse proxy that exposes a single local port to the public internet. Want to RDP/SSH into every home machine → pick ZeroTier/Tailscale; just want to temporarily expose a NAS, blog, or Webhook callback → pick frp + MoonProxy. The two can coexist.
