When administering servers, one of the first things that must be configured to increase the security of them is to configure a Firewall, Luckily in Linux is included a default called Iptables but this firewall many see it a bit complex to configure and manage.

UFW is actually a CLI or command-line interface for the Iptables Firewall that includes Linux, this interface provides us with a slightly easier way to manage and configure Iptabl
Welcome to the second part of Setting up Debian series. Today, you will be guided on how to install Plymouth, firmware drivers, and enable non-free software components to get maximum benefits from the Debian OS you recently installed in the first part of the series.

Automate tasks will make it easy to perform them, allowing us to do all the deployments of an application that we want with fewer possibilities of committing manual errors or it will allow us to have a new machine provisioned exactly as the production machine can be in much less time. In the field of machine provisioning and IT infrastructure management, there are several options, including Chef, Puppet and Ansible. In this arti
rsync is a Linux CLI to copy or sync files between location A and B where location A and B can differ from network, host or device type. It is used at most by system admins to copy or move files through the network and even works on local files. rsync uses a delta-transfer algorithm to transfer files, reducing the time it takes to send files remotely and locally with tags available to only incrementing the remaining missing part of files.

In the post of VPN we saw its theoretical operation, the benefits it can provide us and finally, we saw how to establish a connection with a series of free VPN servers that we can find on the internet. Now the idea is to do the same but this time
