Network Security

StrongSwan is an open-source tool that operates as a keying daemon and uses the Internet Key Exchange protocols (IKEv1 and IKEv2) to secure connections between two hosts.

Security starts with having a well-protected network. This means keeping intruders out, and continuously scanning for potential breaches and flagging attempted compromises.

Before You BeginYou need the following: A system running on a Linux distribution and a Linux kernel version 4.

nftables replaces the successful iptables and its related frameworks built on Netfilter. With nftables come improvements to performance and usability, but also significant changes to syntax and usage.

What is WireGuard?WireGuard® is a next-generation security-focused Virtual Private Network (VPN) which can easily be deployed on low-end devices, like Raspberry Pi, to high-end servers.

Linode’s Cloud Firewall service is a robust cloud-based firewall solution available at no additional charge for Linode customers.

VLANs are private virtual local area networks that are available at no additional cost to Linode users in select data centers.

OpenVPN is a widely trusted, free, and open-source VPN (virtual private network) application that creates encrypted tunnels for secure data transfer between computers that are not on the same local network.

Pritunl is an open source VPN server and management panel. It gives the user the power of the OpenVPN protocol while using an intuitive web interface.

UTunnel VPN lets you set up your own private VPN server quickly and easily; no technical expertise is required.

WarpSpeed makes it easy for developers to access cloud infrastructure via the powerful WireGuard® VPN protocol.

WireGuard® is a simple, fast, and modern virtual private network (VPN) which uses state-of-the-art cryptography. It aims to be faster and leaner than other VPN protocols such as OpenVPN and IPSec, and it has a much smaller source code footprint.

What is UFW?UFW, or uncomplicated firewall, is a frontend for managing firewall rules in Arch Linux, Debian, or Ubuntu.

Firewalld is frontend controller for nftables (or its older counterpart, iptables) used to implement persistent network traffic rules.

Public key authentication with SSH (Secure Shell) is a method in which you generate and store on your computer a pair of cryptographic keys and then configure your server to recognize and accept your keys.

iptables is an application that allows users to configure specific rules that will be enforced by the kernel’s netfilter framework.
