I will set up and harden your ubuntu or debian vps with firewall and ssh
Linux Infrastructure Engineer
I build self-hosted server infrastructure that runs independently and without reliance on external SaaS providers.
My approach is thorough rather than quick-and-dirty: every setup is cleanly built, se...
About this Gig
Your fresh VPS should be secure and ready from day one not an open door for the bots scanning the internet every second.
I set up and harden your Ubuntu or Debian server so it's locked down, stable and ready to use. No guesswork, no leftover security holes.
What I do:
- Clean setup with a non-root sudo user
- SSH hardening key-only login, custom port, root login disabled
- iptables firewall + fail2ban against brute-force
- Automatic security updates
- Docker & docker-compose, swap and a clean login banner (Standard)
- Full Lynis security audit with documented score + 2FA login (Premium)
You get a short handover note explaining exactly what I changed nothing is a black box.
I'm a Computer Science graduate (B.Sc.) with hands-on Linux and server experience, and I treat every server like it's my own.

FAQ
I don't have a server yet – can you help?
Yes. I can recommend a provider (e.g. Hetzner or DigitalOcean) and set everything up once it's running. Just message me first.
Which systems do you work with?
Ubuntu and Debian, any recent version. I don't work on Windows servers.
How do I give you access?
After ordering, you create a user with SSH-key access — I send you a simple copy-paste guide. You can revoke the access the moment I'm done.
Can you guarantee a specific Lynis score?
No honest provider can — the score depends on your server's role and services. What I guarantee is a documented score, clearly improved over a fresh server's default.
