Change reverse proxy option
A reverse proxy acts as a secure gateway between your Olares and the open web, enabling you to expose local services to the public internet securely without needing a public IP. For users who do not own a public IP address, Olares offers three reverse options to facilitate external access to Olares applications and services:
Cloudflare Tunnel – Recommended for most users worldwide.
Olares Tunnel – Optimized for users in mainland China with different regional IDC options.
Self-built FRP – Ideal for users with their own FRP servers.
How to change your FRP option
Open Settings, then navigate to System > Network.
Choose your preferred reverse proxy option. If you select Self-built FRP, you’ll need to provide the server address, port, and authentication method.
Click Save to apply your changes.
Change with caution
- Olares sets a default reverse proxy option during installation. Changing this setting may affect connectivity—proceed with caution.
- Switching your reverse proxy between Cloudflare Tunnel and Olares Tunnel will also change your data plan and benefits, as they are separate cloud network services with different pricing and features.
