FF1 Overview
FF1 is a production-grade multi-node port forwarding fleet-control console. You manage every relay machine from a single console, orchestrate forwarding rules, and push changes in real time to every node along the chain—no more SSH-ing into each box to edit configs.
- FF1 Master: the control plane. Manages nodes, forwarding rules, tunnels, and config delivery.
- FF1 Core: the data-plane forwarding engine. Installed on each node, it performs forwarding and reports status, saturating the physical bandwidth without becoming a bottleneck.
When to use FF1
Section titled “When to use FF1”- You have multiple relay machines to manage centrally and push forwarding rules to in bulk
- You need multi-hop (nested) forwarding chains where one change auto-syncs the whole chain
- You need rate limiting, real-IP pass-through, auditing, and multi-operator role-based operations
