Firewall

In this guide, you will learn how to set up and configure firewall appliances, including Fortinet and OPNsense, to manage network traffic, enhance security, and ensure seamless connectivity. You will explore the use of a reserved public subnet from Infomaniak for Fortinet firewalls and learn how to set up OPNsense appliances with features like floating IPs for remote access. By the end of this guide, you'll have the knowledge to create virtual machines (VMs) configured as firewalls with multiple network interfaces, providing secure and efficient connectivity for your private virtual machines. Let’s dive into the prerequisites and setup process!

  •   Fortinet


    In this guide, you will learn how to set up a Fortinet firewall appliance using a reserved public subnet from Infomaniak. This process will enable you to create a virtual machine (VM) configured as a firewall with two network interfaces—one connecting to the public internet and the other to a private LAN. By following these steps, you'll gain the knowledge to manage network traffic, enhance security through firewall rules, and ensure seamless connectivity for your private virtual machines. Let's dive into the prerequisites and the detailed setup process!

  •   OPNsense


    In this tutorial, you will learn how to create and configure an OPNsense appliance with a network interface for your private virtual machines, along with instructions for setting up a floating IP to allow remote access. We’ll cover prerequisites, instance creation, network configuration through the OpenStack Dashboard, and Terraform template details for an automated setup.
    By the end, you’ll have a fully operational OPNsense firewall ready to manage your network securely. Let’s dive in!
