I’m starting from scratch—our office network has no firewall at all right now—and I need a dependable professional to put robust protection in place while also giving every device the ability to connect securely through a VPN. The focus is on a straightforward configuration: full, unrestricted access for all authorised devices once they authenticate. Here’s the environment you’ll be working with: a small LAN of desktop computers and network-enabled printers. Those are the only endpoints that need to ride the VPN tunnel; mobile devices can stay outside the scope. I’m open to either a hardware appliance (e.g., Fortinet, Sophos, Cisco) or a well-supported software firewall such as pfSense or OPNsense, so long as the final setup is stable, easy for me to monitor, and simple for staff to use. You’ll take the lead on: • Selecting and installing the firewall solution • Configuring site-to-site or remote-access VPN so computers and printers share full network resources seamlessly • Hardening the firewall with best-practice rules and updates • Documenting every step—IP schemes, admin credentials, and a quick-start guide I can hand to future IT staff Once everything is live, we’ll run a quick validation to confirm that: 1. Every PC and printer can reach internal shares and the internet through the VPN. 2. No traffic flows outside approved channels when the tunnel is active. 3. The firewall’s management interface is reachable only from an internal admin subnet. 4. Users can access office internal network remotely If that sounds straightforward for you, let’s lock in a timeline and get our office secured.

I'm a Network & Security Engineer with hands-on MSP experience deploying NGFW, IPsec/SSL VPN, and Zero Trust architectures across multi-vendor environments (FortiGate, Sophos, pfSense, SonicWall) — exactly what this project demands. For a small LAN of PCs and printers, I'd recommend a FortiGate 60F or pfSense (Netgate appliance) — both offer robust firewall policy control, site-to-site/remote-access VPN, and a clean management dashboard that's easy to hand off to future IT staff. Before I finalise the proposal, I'd love to clarify a few quick points: How many remote users need VPN access? Is there an existing ISP router/modem I'll be working behind? And do you have a preferred IP scheme or is that part of the scope too?

Hi, I can definitely help you secure your office from scratch and deploy a robust VPN tunnel for your PCs and printers. Given your requirement for stability, ease of monitoring, and no hidden fees, I recommend a pfSense/OPNsense appliance or a FortiGate 40F/60F if you prefer dedicated hardware. Here is my approach for this rollout: Firewall & Security: Complete installation and hardening, closing all external vulnerabilities and restricting management access strictly to your internal admin subnet. VPN Configuration: Setting up a secure OpenVPN/WireGuard tunnel so desktops and printers share resources seamlessly, ensuring no traffic leaks outside approved channels. Handover: Delivery of full documentation (IP schema, credentials, and a quick-start guide). A few quick questions to lock in the timeline: How many total desktops and printers need to be routed through the VPN? What is your current internet bandwidth (download/upload speed)? I am ready to secure your office this week. Let’s connect. Best regards
