Accelerate Server Connections with UCloud's GlobalSSH Service
GlobalSSH is a product that improves the efficiency of cross-border remote server management, primarily solving issues such as lag, connection failures, and slow transfer speeds caused by unstable international networks. It significantly reduces lag and connection failures, enhancing operational efficiency. Additionally, GlobalSSH offers a free service, recommended for those in need.

Introduction to GlobalSSH
GlobalSSH acts as a relay to accelerate SSH or Windows RDP connections. For example, if you have a server in Europe and experience severe packet loss and lag when connecting from China, you can use GlobalSSH as a relay to improve connection speed and stability. GlobalSSH provides a free plan with the following limitations:
- Bandwidth cap of 2Mbps, daily traffic limit of 1GB
- Speed limited to 250Kbps after daily traffic is exhausted
- Randomly assigned entry region
- Service will be reclaimed if unused for 7 days
- Free version only accelerates ports
22/3389
Using GlobalSSH
If you have already registered and logged in, visit https://console.ucloud.cn/upathx/globalssh to open the GlobalSSH console and prepare to create a GlobalSSH acceleration service.
Select the free plan, fill in the server IP, and choose the region closest to your server (e.g., Frankfurt for a European server). The port only supports 22/3389; select port 22 for Linux servers and port 3389 for Windows servers.
After creation, use the acceleration domain name and port assigned by GlobalSSH to connect, which is equivalent to connecting to your own server. GlobalSSH internally relays traffic through its dedicated lines to achieve acceleration.
Summary
I have used GlobalSSH for a while and found the service to be quite good, with a free version available and effective acceleration. Unfortunately, the free version only accelerates fixed ports, and the service is reclaimed if there is no traffic within 7 days, requiring a new creation after reclamation.
If you need to build your own relay service, you can also refer to my other article: Docker + Brook + Portainer to set up your own port forwarding program with WEB management.
