I will secure harden and configure your linux vps or cloud server
About this Gig
Fresh servers ship wide open. I lock yours down properly, using the same skills I apply daily as a Senior Systems Engineer with 15+ years in IT.
What I do:
Take a fresh Linux server (Ubuntu/Debian) and make it genuinely secure and ready to use: key only SSH, root login disabled, a proper firewall, fail2ban to auto ban brute force attempts, and automatic security updates.
Packages:
- Basic: Core hardening. SSH keys, firewall, fail2ban, auto updates
- Standard: Basic plus nginx reverse proxy with free SSL for one domain
- Premium: Standard plus Docker, WireGuard VPN, and a self hosted alerting tool
You get a hardened server and a plain English summary of every change. No jargon, no guesswork. I test and verify every step before delivery, and I don't hand off anything I haven't confirmed working.
Please message me before ordering with what you're running and where it's hosted, so I can confirm it's the right fit before you buy.

FAQ
Can you fix a server that's already hacked or misbehaving?
No. This gig is for clean setup and hardening on a fresh server. Incident cleanup or troubleshooting an existing problem is a different job. Message me and we can scope it separately.
Do you manage the server after setup?
This is a one-time setup, not ongoing management. Everything is documented so it runs on its own. If you'd like ongoing updates and health checks, message me about a monthly maintenance option.
Do you build the website or app itself?
No. I secure and configure the server your app runs on, not the app itself. Deploying your specific app can be added as a custom offer once I've seen what you're running.
What do you need from me to start?
Root or sudo SSH access to a fresh server, your hosting provider and OS, and for Standard/Premium your domain name. I'll confirm everything fits before you order.
What if I need something not listed here?
Just message me first. I'll tell you honestly whether it fits this gig and send a custom quote if it doesn't.
