Integration of cybersecurity and routing services using free software based on pfSense

Abstract

The implementation of cybersecurity measures for any place that requires an Internet connection is increasingly important, becoming not only an extra for users, but a necessity. Ignorance of how cyberattacks work is the main vulnerability to these, so cybersecurity becomes a priority. Therefore, the implementation of private networks on the internet is an alternative for those projects that need to share data between remote connections. Implementing one of these networks can be simpler than it seems, since understanding what they really are makes it easier to protect users from cyberattacks. In this scientific article, the implementation of a private network through the public internet in the telematics laboratory of the school of electrical engineering at UES will be found.
