ProxiPort

ProxiPort is an open-source, self-hosted remote management and reverse- tunnel project with a server and endpoint agent. It supports remote command execution, script execution, file transfer, system monitoring, and tunnels. It is a distinct continuation of RPort/OpenRPort; this entry does not assign RPort abuse reporting or RealVNC signing metadata to ProxiPort.

The packaged endpoint agent installs as an automatic operating-system service; Linux uses the dedicated proxiport-agent account.
Free / availability
Yes
Verification required
Static review of pinned upstream source and documentation; no local binary, controller, or sample execution was performed. Windows MSI and Linux package sources establish the paths and service metadata below. The upstream documentation lists Linux, macOS, and Windows agents. No stable macOS installation path or service label was established in the pinned source, so no macOS artifact is asserted. No public malicious-use report was established in this review.
