When purchasing one of our Private Clouds , you decide how to set up your virtual machines (VMs) and the related resources in each one, such as CPU, RAM and IP addresses. To better protect your virtual machines, you can use a firewall like PfSense, using local networks in your Private Cloud. The concept of firewall can be applied to all operating systems because its function is to protect the virtual machine from external attacks and make it less vulnerable. Content index: How does the firewall work? What does the configuration involve? How does the firewall work? Why use local networks? The objective is not to expose access to the virtual machine to the public network , so as to prevent anyone from accessing via public IP and to have total control over the connections made, both incoming and outgoing.
The purpose of PfSense is precisely to make the server Chinese Student Phone Number List reachable from the Internet exclusively under authorized conditions, thanks to the filters that can be set: for example, by IP, by port, or by connection status. To do this we have made the installation of PfSense available, which will act as a firewall. In this way, to reach our virtual machines via the Internet, we will have to forcibly pass through the PfSense firewall, and vice versa . The passage will therefore be VM > PfSense > Internet, without direct contact between our system that we want to protect, and the Internet: by doing so, you decide who can reach it and who cannot , by specifically configuring the firewall.
The firewall is especially useful for Windows environments, an operating system that is not suitable for exposure on the Internet. pfsense graph As you can see from the image, you can configure different virtual machines within your Private Cloud. Plesk and the PfSense firewall are directly connected to the Internet via a public network interface (blue squares). Windows, on the other hand, is connected to PfSense via a local network interface (red square), which in turn is connected to the internet via the public network interface (blue square). What does the configuration involve? When a virtual machine is created within the Private Cloud, it is always associated with a public IP address so that it is immediately reachable by customers. Following correct configuration, you can disable the public network card directly from your operating system.
