Project Description
I’m looking for someone who can design and deploy a private VPN that carries all traffic—internal and external—through an encrypted tunnel. My immediate priorities are:
• Using NordVPN-compatible protocols (WireGuard or OpenVPN as implemented by NordVPN) to establish the tunnel.
• Hardening the environment so every packet is encrypted end-to-end and no split-tunnelling loopholes remain.
• Bringing a small pool of Linux servers onto the VPN, validating that they route exclusively through it, and documenting the steps so I can add or remove hosts later.
You’ll start with a clean VPS that I’ll provide, then integrate the finished VPN with the rest of my network; I’m not yet sure how much re-addressing or firewall adjustment that will involve, so I’ll rely on your security background and troubleshooting skills to map out the best plan.
Deliverables
1. Fully operational VPN endpoint ready for production use.
2. Servers joined to the VPN and verified for both outbound and inbound connectivity.
3. Configuration scripts / commands plus a brief runbook so future changes are straightforward.
4. Security report summarising cipher choices, key management, and any residual risks.
I’ll test the setup by routing live traffic over several days; final sign-off happens once stability, speed, and leak-proofing meet the agreed benchmarks. If you have deep experience with NordVPN’s toolset, network hardening, and cross-platform routing, I’d love to hear how you’d approach this.
