pfSense Firewall and Samba Active Directory Setup For 100 PCs
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
There are roughly one hundred Windows workstations on my network that now need a single, well-tuned pfSense deployment at the edge. The objective is straightforward: harden the perimeter and put clear, enforceable policies around every byte leaving or entering—whether it is web browsing, email, file transfers, or broader data-sharing traffic.
The appliance (physical or virtual, whichever you recommend for stability and throughput) must sit between our ISP router and the core switch, serve DHCP if required, and log everything in a way that makes later auditing painless. I also need sensible, maintainable rule sets rather than a tangle of one-off exceptions—think clean NAT, VLAN-aware segmentation, and simple queues for bandwidth management.
Please plan on:
• Installing and fully updating pfSense
• Crafting rule groups that cover web, mail, file-sharing and future data channels
• Enabling logging, alerting, and easy-to-read reports .
• Installing and configuration of Samba Active Directory.
• Writing a brief hand-over document so my team can add or tweak rules confidently
• A short remote walk-through once everything is running
This is a greenfield install; no legacy firewall configurations must be migrated. The sooner we can get a first draft configuration into a lab test, the quicker we can go live.
