Server Security & Firewall Setup
I lock down Linux servers that run websites, mail and applications: only the doors the server needs stay open, and every change is written down so you know exactly what was done.
What I do
- Firewall rules: incoming traffic limited to the ports your services actually use; everything else is closed.
- SSH access: sign-in with keys instead of passwords, root sign-in switched off, and repeated failed attempts blocked.
- Updates: security updates applied, and automatic updates set up where they are safe to run.
- HTTPS: certificates installed and renewed automatically.
- Services reviewed: anything listening that should not be is switched off or restricted.
- Backups: scheduled backups, and a restore actually tried, so you know they work.
What you get at the end
- A plain written list of every change, and how to undo it.
- Notes on what to keep an eye on afterwards.
What this is not
This is hands-on setup work on your server. It is not round-the-clock monitoring, and it is not a compliance certification.
How I work
- You tell me what runs on the server and who needs to reach it.
- I review it and agree every change with you before I make it.
- I make the changes, check that your services still work, and hand over the list.
