Optimize your setup with recommended firewall configurations and deployment strategies.
Optimize your setup with recommended firewall configurations and deployment strategies.
Hello everyone! My colleagues and I are launching a new art studio company. We're seeking open-source options that are simple to handle for deploying OS images, software, and security updates across our machines. Features like pushing Group Policies would be a big help. Our setup includes roughly three dozen W10/11 systems plus a few Mac stations. For network security, we're considering pfSense and want recommendations on an easy-to-manage firewall and proxy solution. I'm looking for guidance for someone new to managing the entire IT infrastructure—any tips, potential traps, or resources to simplify things? Thanks in advance for your help!
Microsoft recommends using Azure now. It offers a deployment process where you log in and it configures everything for you, or it sets it up automatically from the start. For local setups, you can rely on Active Directory and Windows Server. On a few Macs, I’d handle it manually. Pfsense should work well in this environment.
