Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/fatedier/frp/issues/2586

Bug Description

I have multiple frp clients on multiple computers so I use the prefix user to identify them.

frpc adds the prefix to the proxy name. but it also adds the prefix to server_name, which is not what I want.
https://github.com/fatedier/frp/blob/dev/pkg/config/visitor.go#L145

For example: see configurations.

frpc Version

0.37.1

frps Version

0.37.1

System Architecture

linux/amd64

Configurations

I want to connect to the ssh service of client A on client B, and connect to the ssh service of client B on client A.
So these are my configurations.
(Other irrelevant configurations like local_ip, local_port and bind_addr, bind_port have been removed.)

client A:

[common]
user = cli_a

[ssh]
type = stcp

[ssh_visitor_b]
type = stcp
role = visitor
server_name = cli_b.ssh

client B:

[common]
user = cli_b

[ssh]
type = stcp

[ssh_visitor_a]
type = stcp
role = visitor
server_name = cli_a.ssh

Logs

I got the following error because frpc added the prefix cli_a to the server_name cli_b.ssh.

[cli_a.ssh_visitor_b] start new visitor connection error: custom listener for [cli_a.cli_b.ssh] doesn't exist

Steps to reproduce

No response

You can't connect from one user to another now.

这个连接不同用户的前缀处理能在未来版本实现吗？
