I’m moving a bare-metal server at Hetzner over to a fully virtualized environment and want the foundation built right the first time. Here’s what I need: • Clean installation of the latest stable ESXi on the Hetzner host, followed by all current updates and patches. • Basic performance tuning so the hypervisor is ready for production workloads (CPU scheduling, datastore alignment, SSD caching if available, etc.). • Creation of well-structured subnets for multiple tenant VMs. • Firewall rules and protection logic on my MikroTik RouterOS appliance that will sit in front of the ESXi host, including NAT, filter, and basic DDoS hardening. I'm awaiting to order the server and necessary requirements for the setup; you will have to provide all requirements prior submitting the order. The goal is to hand back a platform where I can start spinning up VMs immediately, each isolated on its own subnet with sensible security. Deliverables will be accepted once: 1. ESXi shows as fully patched in vSphere. 2. At least two test VMs can pass traffic inside their assigned subnet and reach the internet. 3. MikroTik rules block unsolicited inbound traffic for a Unity game while allowing my management IP range. 4. A short, plain-text summary of what was done and any passwords or API tokens changed. If you’ve done Hetzner + VMware + MikroTik before, I’d love to get this scheduled quickly.

Hi, There are also very solid open-source alternatives for this type of infrastructure, particularly Proxmox. I have deployed it in large multipurpose environments, including virtualization, networking, segmentation and scalable service architectures. Using MikroTik as the frontend is a valid approach, although I would carefully review its integration with Hetzner VLAN/vSwitch. Depending on the traffic flow, it can introduce additional outbound traffic consumption through both the dedicated host and the MikroTik endpoint, which may become relevant as the infrastructure grows. I have worked extensively with this type of architecture and can help you build a robust solution covering virtualization, networking, security, scalability and operational efficiency. My approach would be to first review the proposed topology and then implement a clean architecture that works well today while remaining flexible enough for future growth. I would be happy to discuss your current design and help you move the project forward.

Hello, I have reviewed your project—moving a bare-metal Hetzner server to a virtualized environment with ESXi and MikroTik RouterOS. With 5+ years in software engineering and hands-on experience with Hetzner dedicated servers, VMware ESXi, and MikroTik routing, I am ready to build your foundation right. What I will deliver: Pre-order requirements list: Server specs, storage, network configuration, and licensing needed for your setup. ESXi installation: Clean install of latest stable ESXi on Hetzner host, fully patched, with performance tuning (CPU scheduling, datastore alignment, SSD caching where applicable). Subnet structure: Well-organized subnets for multiple tenant VMs. MikroTik RouterOS configuration: Firewall rules, NAT, filter policies, and DDoS hardening—blocking unsolicited inbound traffic for your Unity game while allowing your management IP range. Test VMs: Two VMs passing traffic inside their assigned subnets and reaching the internet. Deliverables: Fully patched ESXi, working test VMs, MikroTik rules verified, and a plain-text summary of all changes (passwords/API tokens updated). I have done Hetzner + VMware + MikroTik deployments before. Let's schedule this. Noor ul Amin

Hi, I can help you set up your virtualization environment on Hetzner with a clean ESXi installation and all required configurations. I’ve successfully completed similar projects, including performance tuning and secure MikroTik firewall setups, ensuring VMs are isolated within their own subnets. This means you’ll have a platform that’s ready for production workloads right from the start. Once I have the server requirements, I can deliver the setup in 3 days, including documentation of changes and firewall rules. What's your primary concern regarding the MikroTik configuration?

Hi there! I have built this exact stack (Hetzner + ESXi + MikroTik) multiple times and can set this up correctly the first time. Before you buy, I'll provide a precise hardware and IP spec sheet to ensure ESXi compatibility and smooth ordering. Once the server is online, I will handle: Clean install & full patching of the latest stable ESXi (confirmed in vSphere). Performance tuning (CPU scheduling, VMFS6 alignment, SSD caching). Isolated subnets/VLANs for your tenants. MikroTik RouterOS hardening (NAT, DDoS filters, restricting admin ports). Custom rules blocking unsolicited Unity game traffic while allowing your management IP. Handoff includes: Proof of two test VMs passing traffic to the internet. Proof of blocked game port traffic. A clean, plain-text documentation file with all IP mappings, VLANs, and credentials. Ready to start immediately. Let's discuss your pre-order specs!

Resourcefully Energetic, Hetzner VMWare & MikroTik setup will be built for production readiness from day one. I’ll install the latest stable ESXi on the Hetzner host, apply all current updates/patches, then perform foundational performance tuning (CPU scheduling and storage alignment/caching where available) so your hypervisor is stable under real workloads. Next, I’ll design clean, well-structured tenant subnets and implement routing boundaries aligned to your isolation goals. On the front-end MikroTik RouterOS, I’ll build NAT and filter rule sets with protection logic and basic DDoS hardening, blocking unsolicited inbound traffic while allowing only your management IP range. Acceptance will be validated via vSphere fully patched status plus two test VMs reaching the internet within assigned subnets. Final delivery includes a short plain-text summary of what was done and confirmation that any required passwords/API tokens were updated.

I've spent 10+ years doing Linux server builds and VPS management -- bare metal provisioning, networking, firewall rules, the whole stack. Your Hetzner project lines up with a lot of that, especially the subnet design and inbound filtering pieces. I want to be upfront though: ESXi and MikroTik RouterOS aren't my daily tools. My virtualization has been Docker and KVM, and my firewall work has been iptables/nftables on Linux rather than RouterOS. The concepts transfer (NAT, filter chains, DDoS hardening are the same regardless of platform), but if you need someone who's done dozens of Hetzner+ESXi+MikroTik deploys specifically, I'm not that person. What you'd get from me is solid execution on the networking and security side -- proper subnet isolation for your tenant VMs, clean firewall rules with your management IP whitelisted and a plain-text handoff doc so you know exactly what got configured. I've set up enough multi-tenant environments to know the gotchas around storage alignment, patching order and making sure nothing is exposed before the rules are locked down. If that background works, I can jump on this as soon as the server order goes in. Send me a message and we'll sort out the requirements list before you place the order with Hetzner.
