I will configure, audit, or fix fortigate firewall and SSL VPN settings
About this Gig
Struggling with firewall security, VPN setup, or unreliable network connectivity? I'm a certified network professional (CCNA, Ethical Hacker) currently working as a Senior Network Administrator at an insurance company, where I manage Fortigate firewalls across 29+ branch locations.
I can help you with:
- Fortigate firewall installation & policy configuration
- Site-to-site and remote-access VPN setup
- Dual-ISP failover for uninterrupted connectivity
- Zone-based network segmentation (LAN, WAN, DMZ, Datacenter)
- NAT rules and access control configuration
- Security policy review and hardening
Whether you're a small business securing your first firewall or need enterprise-grade segmentation across multiple sites, I'll configure a setup that's both secure and reliable no unnecessary complexity, just what actually protects your network.
I communicate clearly throughout the project, document everything I do, and I'm available for remote screen-share sessions to walk you through the final setup.
Message me before ordering if your requirements don't fit neatly into a package I'm happy to scope a custom solution.

FAQ
Do I need to give you remote access to my firewall?
Yes, typically via TeamViewer, AnyDesk, or SSH/HTTPS admin access to your Fortigate device. If your firewall is on-premises and not remotely accessible, we can arrange a scheduled screen-share session where you control the keyboard while I guide you.
What information do you need from me before you start?
Your Fortigate model, current firmware version, ISP details (single or dual), a rough network diagram if you have one, and what you're trying to achieve (e.g., VPN for remote staff, segmenting a guest network). If you're not sure, message me and I'll help you figure out what's needed.
Can you work with firewalls other than Fortigate?
My core expertise is Fortigate/FortiOS, but I also have experience with Cisco devices. Message me before ordering if you're using a different brand so I can confirm I'm a good fit.
Will there be downtime during the setup?
Some configuration changes require a brief service interruption (usually a few minutes). I'll schedule changes at a time that works for you and let you know in advance if downtime is expected.
What happens if something breaks after you're done?
All packages include revisions to address any configuration issues within the delivery scope. I also provide documentation of every change made, so you (or your IT team) can reference it later. For ongoing support beyond the original scope, we can discuss a separate arrangement.
