01
Access requirements
The first step was defining who needed access, which admin panels had to stay private, and which devices had to connect.
Private admin access infrastructure
Corporate VPN Service
The Corporate VPN Service case covers private access infrastructure for a company that needed admin panels protected from the public internet. The solution used StrongSwan on DigitalOcean to create secure IKEv2 VPN access for approved team devices, including laptops, desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.

Delivery record
From access risk into controlled private infrastructure.
The work covered access requirements, secure gateway setup, device profiles, firewall boundaries, and operational handoff.
02
StrongSwan deployment
A StrongSwan VPN gateway was configured on DigitalOcean with secure tunnel settings and production firewall rules.
03
Device profiles
Connection setup was prepared for laptops, desktops, iOS, Android, and tablet access.
04
Handoff and controls
The service was documented so user onboarding, revocation, and troubleshooting can be handled cleanly.

VPN access layer
The access layer protects internal admin panels behind encrypted VPN connectivity instead of exposing them publicly.
01
Created a private VPN gateway so sensitive admin panels do not need to be exposed to the public internet.
02
Configured secure access for laptops, desktops, tablets, and mobile phones across common operating systems.
03
Used StrongSwan and DigitalOcean to keep the deployment lightweight, understandable, and maintainable.
04
Documented connection profiles and operating rules so the company can onboard approved users safely.
