I will secure, harden, and optimize your Ubuntu Linux server
About this Gig
Running your VPS on default settings? No SSH hardening, no firewall rules, no SSL? That's an open door for bots scanning the internet 24/7 for exactly that.
I harden Ubuntu/Linux VPS servers and configure SSL the way a security-conscious sysadmin sets up their own infrastructure every step verified, not just installed and hoped for.
What I handle:
- SSH hardening (key-based auth, root login disabled)
- UFW firewall locked down to only what your app needs
- Fail2ban auto-blocks brute-force login attempts
- SSL/TLS via Let's Encrypt + Certbot, forced HTTPS redirect
- Verified auto-renewal, so your cert doesn't silently expire
- Independent SSL Labs grading (most setups land A/A+)
- A clear before/after report of what was exposed and what's locked down
Every case study in my portfolio comes from a real VPS I configured myself real terminal output, real SSL Labs results. Check it before you order.
I respond fast, explain things in plain language, and won't touch anything outside scope without checking with you first.
Message me your VPS provider, OS version, and what's currently running before ordering, so I can confirm scope.
