Hey there,

I'd like to use frp but in reverse, ha! I use frp for several reverse proxies, but for this task I need a forward proxy.

Can frps accept incoming SOCKS5 connections and forward its traffic out 80/443 from an frpc connection?

Computer1 has a VPN connection
Computer2 is my computer

Computer1 needs to listen for incoming SOCKS5 connections on port 1080 (login abc/abc)
Computer2 needs to connect to Computer1 over SOCKS5, then Computer1 needs to relay traffic through ports 80/443

Computer2-->SOCKS5-->Computer1-->Outbound 80/443-->VPN Software Handles WAN Connectivity

Is that possible, or is this a feature request? 😁😂

Can computer2 connect to computer1 directly?

frp is not designed for this scenario.

But you can try it, deploy frps and frpc on c1 and another frpc on c2 with stcp proxy .
