In the current digital life, remote access to NAS devices in the home is becoming more and more common, and it is often encountered that the remote access speed of the system is not satisfactory. At present, many operators have recycled home broadband public network IP, making it difficult for many devices to access directly from the external network, and "intranet penetration" has become a key solution.

But in the face of all kinds of penetration tools, how to choose? Is it self-built on the open source FRP, or directly choose mature Aweshell services? The following is a typical example of FRP and Aweshell, to analyze which one is more suitable for the public to achieve remote access.

Difficulty in Building: FRP is like climbing a steep peak, and Aweshell is like walking a flat road.

If you want to build your own FRP, the technical threshold is not low. You have to start with a VPS cloud server with public network IP. Subsequent operations such as domain name resolution and SSL certificate deployment are also essential. Configuration files and network knowledge are indispensable.

This process is extremely complicated for most users. The cost of VPS is a continuous expense. After the first year of discount, the renewal price rises. The cost of domain name and certificate can reach hundreds of thousands of yuan per year. Moreover, using a fixed domain name to visit in China also involves compliance issues, and the domain name filing procedures are complicated, otherwise the visit will be stopped at any time. If you turn to overseas VPS to avoid filing, there is a risk of being blocked and high network delay, the loss outweighs the gain. This step alone will dissuade many FRP self-built attempts.

Looking at the configuration of FRP intranet penetration, you need to edit multiple configuration files, master the server and client parameter settings, rely on the command line to start the service, the whole process without graphical interface assistance, all by manual modification and command operation. Inconvenient for users who are not familiar with the command line.

In contrast, the advantages of Aweshell such mature programs are obvious. No need to build a server, install the software client can be used, equipped with a perfect graphical interface. Whether it is common Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android system, or for NAS scenarios, mainstream brands such as Qunhui, Green Union, Polar Space, Wei Unicom, Feiniu, etc., Aweshell all have adaptive clients, which are installed in the application center and kit center with one click and are convenient to operate.

Take Qunhui NAS as an example. The Aweshell client is directly integrated in the kit center and installed and logged in with one click. Even black Qunhui users can easily get started. After Feiniu fnOS is integrated and Aweshell, 15Mbps remote access bandwidth can be unlocked for less than 100 yuan. The speed is better than the official free service, and the cost is far lower than self-built.

Performance: FRP Limited VPS, Aweshell Steady Win

FRP self-built intranet penetration performance is subject to VPS configuration. Some people covet cheap VPS, but ignore the instability of service quality behind low prices. For example, under the overselling strategy of VPS of small manufacturers, it is common for network peak delays to soar and inaccessibility. Furthermore, if the VPS computer room line is single, the delay during cross-regional and cross-operator access will increase greatly, and the remote connection will be stuck and the speed will be slow.

On the other hand, as a professional intranet penetration service, the deployment of BGP multi-line computer room cluster can automatically select the optimal path according to the network conditions, cross-operator and cross-regional access can also be high-speed and stable, there is no hidden danger of small manufacturers overselling, and it is still stable during peak hours.

Network Environment Adaptability: FRP Can't Hit, Aweshell Can Do It

FRP is essentially a reverse proxy forwarding tool, which is not optimized for complex network environments. It can still operate in an ordinary NAT environment, but in complex environments such as dual NAT and multi-level routing, FRP is prone to connection failure and disconnection in case of strict network policies. It also relies on users to adjust port mapping or network settings, which makes it difficult to troubleshoot problems.

The Aweshell is different. It can easily cope with complex routers and firewall environments. As long as it can be connected to the network normally, it can realize intranet penetration without special settings, and its stability is more guaranteed.

Safety: FRP has many hidden dangers, and Aweshell protection is worry-free

FRP default configuration does not encrypt transmission, data plaintext penetration, the server is exposed to the public network, hackers can easily intercept traffic, steal data, invade the server. Although users can configure TLS encrypted channels, enable WSS protocol, and deploy HTTPS certificates, the process is cumbersome and error-prone, making it difficult for individual users to achieve enterprise-level security protection.

Aweshell work equally out of the box at the security level. With one click, HTTPS encrypted transmission is enabled without the need to deploy a local certificate. It also has built-in access control and explosive protection to reduce the risk of data being intercepted, tampered and subjected to DDoS attacks. Aweray 19 years of operating experience, security and compliance protection is perfect, users do not need to worry about data security and service compliance, remote access is more secure.

Post-maintenance: FRP shall bear the responsibility and Aweshell professional trusteeship.

Self-built FRP intranet penetration post-maintenance is all a challenge. Users must act as operation and maintenance engineers to ensure the stable operation of the server, update security patches in time, and monitor faults in real time. Once problems such as VPS failure, domain name resolution, and SSL certificate expiration occur, the service will be interrupted and a lot of time and effort will be spent. If an unknown low-cost VPS is selected, the service provider will "close down and run away", and the user can only admit that he is unlucky.

Aweshell transfer the pressure of operation and maintenance to the professional team. The Aweray official team is responsible for server stability, bandwidth, security protection, daily maintenance, years of technical financial support, will not collapse at will. 7x 24 technical support and improvement of fault feedback channels, problems can be solved quickly, users do not need to worry about operation and maintenance, saving time and effort.

To sum up, for most users who want to remotely access intranet devices such as NAS, Aweshell has outstanding advantages over self-built FRP. FRP is popular for open source, but there are many hidden worries such as technology, cost, security, operation and maintenance. The Aweshell is easy to use, stable, safe and excellent in performance. There is no need to build a server, bandwidth and security concerns are eliminated, the equipment is ready to use, and remote access is convenient and convenient.
