Managed and troubleshooted 8 WireGuard VPN and IPSEC VPN connections, ensuring secure communication across Google Cloud and Linux systems.

Situation. Secure connectivity between the cloud and the on‑premises Linux systems ran over several VPN tunnels, and they were fragile and awkward to diagnose when they dropped. A dead tunnel could cut communication between environments, and troubleshooting one was slow and uncertain — you were never quite sure you’d found the real cause.

Task. Managing and troubleshooting those connections, to guarantee secure and uninterrupted communication, was the job.

Action. The VPN estate came under control — eight WireGuard and IPSec tunnels across Google Cloud and the Linux systems, managed and troubleshot as a set rather than eight separate mysteries. Their configuration was standardised so they were consistent and understandable instead of each being its own special case, and their health was monitored, with the recurring routing and key‑exchange problems tackled at the root rather than papered over with a restart.

Result. All eight tunnels ran securely and reliably, communication between environments stayed protected, and the recurring connectivity incidents that used to interrupt work stopped happening. Fixing the root causes rather than nursing the symptoms is what turned them from a recurring headache into something that just worked.
