Security Services - OpenBSD / FreeBSD Network and Server Solutions

HiFX leverages the OpenBSD and FreeBSD operating systems to provide state of the art firewall and domain controller solutions to small and medium business houses. By helping you use the open source operating systems and technologies will result in substantial cost savings.

How can we design a secure company network using OpenBSD for you?

HiFX consultants can help your organization secure your company network and valuable data from the unauthorized access by helping you set up a highly secure and redundant firewall using OpenBSD. OpenBSD is considered to be the most secure operating system available today. Used by Pentagon and other US Govt. / Military organizations, it is the preferred platform to implement extreme security.

Unlike many other operating systems that claim to be secure, OpenBSD has incorporated the extreme security technologies like:

These are used to prevent buffer over flow exploits which is the major threat to many other so called "secure operating systems".

What are the services offered by us on OpenBSD and the FreeBSD operating systems?

Highly Secure and Redundant Firewalls, VPN Gateways & Wireless access points

OpenBSD has a highly secure and efficient Firewall called "PF" which is integrated with its kernel. It has various options and can be configured to protect Company and Home networks from the Internet. PF supports dynamic firewall capabilities and can even be used to secure networks whose layouts changes constantly like networks with wireless users. Redundant connections can be established by using CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) on OpenBSD thereby ensuring uninterrupted Network Traffic even if one firewall computer goes down due to hardware failure.

Highly secure VPN Gateways can also be built using OpenBSD. Redundancy is supported on VPN gateways too.

Highly secure wireless access point for Wireless hosts can also be built using OpenBSD.

Secure Internet & Intranet Servers

OpenBSD incorporates security technologies like Privilege separation, Privilege revocation, Chroot jailing, Integrated cryptography and other security mechanisms. Hence it is the best choice for setting up secure web severs, FTP, Mail, DNS, CVS servers, etc.

Domain Controllers

FreeBSD and Samba can Replace Windows Domain controllers in a network. Replacing the Domain controllers in such a manner helps saving the cost of Microsoft Windows Server Operating Systems and also every Licence fee each client windows systems has to pay inorder to connect to the Server.
