Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/fatedier/frp/issues/4573

Describe the feature request

In the typical setup of:
client -> frps -> frpc -> private service (e.g. web server)

Does the frp client (frpc) keep a persistent connection to the (target) private service or is it ad-hoc, i.e. every time the client wants to contact the private service (through frps -> frpc) it will open a new socket (and close it later)?
What's the default, is it configurable via the toml?

Thanks!

For tcp proxy, the connections are 1:1. For http proxy, the default Golang HTTP connection pool is used and it is not configurable.
