System Requirements
- Device: iPhone or iPad
- OS: iOS / iPadOS 17.0 or later
- frp server: An frps instance that you deploy yourself (v0.52 or later recommended)
- Target device: Your home computer / NAS running frpc (stcp visitee) plus an SSH service (port 22 by default)
Getting Started
- Deploy frps on a server with a public IP. Note its
bindPort and auth.token.
- On the device you want to reach (computer / NAS), run frpc in stcp visitee mode to expose its local SSH (port 22) through the tunnel, and configure a pre-shared
secretKey.
- Open Burrow and create a connection: enter the frps address, token, visitee name, the same
secretKey, and the SSH username / password for the target machine.
- Tap the connection to enter the command shell or the SFTP file browser. Save frequently used commands as snippets or as a Runbook for one-tap reuse.
FAQ
- Tunnel won't connect? Verify that the frps port is reachable on the public internet, that the token matches your server config, and that your network isn't blocking the frps port.
- Can't see the target device? Make sure the visitee-side frpc process is still running and that its
secretKey matches the one in Burrow.
- SSH authentication failed? v1 supports password authentication; PEM private-key auth is coming in a later release. Confirm the username / password are correct and that the target sshd allows password login.
- Tunnel drops when the app goes to the background? v1 only keeps the tunnel alive while Burrow is in the foreground (no NetworkExtension). Bring the app back to the foreground to reconnect.
- Is my data uploaded? No. Burrow has no backend, no accounts, and no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs. All connection details and commands stay on your device.
- Is there a subscription? No. Burrow is a one-time purchase — no IAP, no ads.
