# Networking & VPN

> Selected Engineer ApS work demonstrating Networking & VPN — the achievements that prove it.

- [Designed, implemented, and administered 6 ETL/ELT pipelines, utilizing Google BigQuery, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, Shell scripting, PL/pgSQL, and Transact‑SQL, integrating data for efficient Python API processing.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/designed-implemented-and-administered-6-etl-elt-pipelines-8/)
- [Managed 30 Ubuntu Linux VPS instances, implementing disaster recovery strategies and ensuring optimal network configurations.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/managed-30-ubuntu-linux-vps-instances-implementing-disaster-20/)
- [Managed and troubleshooted 8 WireGuard VPN and IPSEC VPN connections, ensuring secure communication across Google Cloud and Linux systems.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/managed-and-troubleshooted-8-wireguard-vpn-and-ipsec-23/)
- [Administered network infrastructure for over 1,000 servers, ensuring optimal system deployment, security, and troubleshooting.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/administered-network-infrastructure-for-over-1-000-servers-39/)
- [Configured and deployed 1,000 Wi‑Fi routers, improving network accessibility and performance for clients.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/configured-and-deployed-1-000-wi-fi-routers-48/)
- [Administered 100 Bare Bone servers, physical networks, and IP telephony systems, ensuring robust infrastructure for company growth.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/administered-100-bare-bone-servers-physical-networks-and-50/)
- [Provisioned Azure infrastructure as code with Bicep — Container Apps, PostgreSQL Flexible Server, Front Door/WAF and networking — across the development, staging and production environments.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/provisioned-azure-infrastructure-as-code-with-bicep-container-68/)
- [Provided round‑the‑clock 24/7 infrastructure support for an IPTV/OTT streaming platform, administering ~1,000 servers plus client‑owned systems for global customers in China, the US and Germany.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/provided-round-the-clock-24-7-infrastructure-support-82/)
- [Ensured uninterrupted delivery of IPTV streaming signals between suppliers and clients, monitoring and maintaining the streaming network and IP telephony around the clock.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/ensured-uninterrupted-delivery-of-iptv-streaming-signals-between-83/)
- [Built fail‑closed abuse controls — 22 Redis‑backed rate limiters, Cloudflare Turnstile, request idempotency and an origin lock — so the platform sheds bots and floods instead of trusting its callers.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/built-fail-closed-abuse-controls-and-rate-limiting-100/)
- [Found and closed three SSH brute‑force protections that had never worked: a ban jail watching port 22 while the daemon listened on 1986, a rate limit shadowed by a broader rule above it, and a ban action whose binary never resolved, so no ban had ever applied.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/found-three-ssh-brute-force-protections-that-never-worked-110/)
- [Verified firewall rules by position rather than presence, reading the numbered rule list and the live packet‑filter chain, because a rule that exists is not a rule any packet reaches.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/verified-firewall-rules-by-position-113/)
- [Reconciled a 20‑record DNS zone declaratively against the Cloudflare API with separate audit and BIND‑export entry points, and turned the CDN proxy back off on privacy grounds after building it.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/reconciled-a-dns-zone-declaratively-118/)
