Find Firewall Projects on Upwork Efficiently

SUMMARY
(Anyone calling, texting, or emailing my team directly will be reported for violating terms of service and immediately blocked from consideration of any future proposals)

We’re looking for a technical specialist to diagnose and help optimize a large, complex WordPress site for one of our clients. The site has 1,500+ pages and was built over several years with a stack of themes, plugins and page-building tools that were never chosen with performance or machine readability in mind.

Specific diagnostics, including Core Web Vitals data, will be shared with shortlisted candidates.

This engagement is 100% focused on AEO and GEO. We know the right technical fundamentals will carry over into traditional SEO gains, but we are not building an SEO strategy and don’t want one proposed.

The question we need answered is whether AI systems can reliably reach, render and understand this site, and if not, what’s in the way. Due to the number of clear AI and spam proposals if you don't write "Lamp" before the first line of your proposal, you'll be immediately reported as spam.

THE WORK

You’ll start with a diagnosis. Which AI crawlers are reaching the site, which are being blocked by robots rules, CDN or firewall settings, and what they actually receive when they arrive. Most AI crawlers don’t execute JavaScript, so content that depends on client-side rendering, or sits behind tabs, sliders and accordions, may simply be invisible to them. We need to know where that’s happening and why.

Beyond crawler access, the scope covers page speed and Core Web Vitals across mobile and desktop, plugin and script conflicts, structured data quality and consistency across templates, and anything else that degrades how cleanly a machine can parse the site.

We’ve already done standard plugin and theme testing in a sandbox. This is not a disable-plugins-and-see exercise, and it’s not “install this optimization plugin.”
(I can't stress to you enough that doing this will result in a 1 star review plus a breech of contract escalation with Upwork directly)

We need someone who can trace specific problems to specific parts of the site, build a prioritized plan that fixes issues at the template level rather than page by page, execute it, and document every change for our internal site documentation. Additionally we know we need to overhaul schema and canonical tags, but it's a daunting task to tackle with the current workload across the team.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You have deep technical WordPress experience on large sites, and you’ve spent real time in the past several months on how AI crawlers and AI search systems interact with websites.

You understand the difference between what Googlebot sees and what GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot or ClaudeBot see. You’re comfortable with server logs, rendering tests and CDN configuration. You fix root causes, not symptoms, and you write down what you changed.

ENGAGEMENT

Project-based to start, with diagnosis followed by execution. We manage multiple client sites and are looking for a go-to technical partner for ongoing AEO and GEO work. If this project goes well, there’s a strong opportunity to continue with guaranteed direct referrals.

TO APPLY

Begin your proposal by explaining how you would approach diagnosing the site as a whole - which tools, what do you need access to, etc.
(Proposals that skip this won’t be reviewed)

Then include examples of large sites you’ve worked on (redacted domains are fine), any experience fixing technical issues site-wide rather than page by page, and a short outline of your experience and any certifications with AEO/GEO tools.

I need an Asterisk engineer who can jump on AnyDesk and finish configuring our on-premise PBX. The box is already running Linux with FreePBX; what’s missing is the detailed setup and testing.

Hardware & lines
• Digium/Sangoma PRI card handling a single E1 span that carries both of our business numbers.
• No SIP trunks—everything rides on the E1.

Scope of work
1. Verify the existing OS/FreePBX install, apply any critical updates, and make sure DAHDI sees the card cleanly.
2. Program the span, clocks, signalling, and channels so inbound and outbound calls flow for the two listed DIDs.
3. Create nine laptop SIP extensions and four Android SIP extensions, all on a static LAN.
4. Implement caller-ID presentation, simple IVR or direct routing to extensions, and internal dial plans.
5. Turn on full-time call recording (inbound and outbound) and ensure CDR logging is accurate.
6. Assign a static public IP and verify NAT/firewall rules so softphones work off-site if required.
7. Walk through test calls, record sample audio, export CDR, and hand over admin credentials with a quick rundown of what was changed.

I can power-cycle the server, swap cables, or check LEDs on request; everything else must be done remotely. Let me know your fixed price and how quickly you can deliver a fully working, documented system.

Our office Wi-Fi has started acting up: devices drop off at random and new ones fail to obtain an IP address. From everything I can see, the problem is rooted in configuration errors somewhere between the access points, DHCP settings and firewall rules. I need someone who lives and breathes network troubleshooting to step in remotely, examine the current wireless setup, spot the mis-configurations, then implement and document a clean, stable fix.

You’ll have secure remote access to the controller, individual APs, the gateway firewall and the Windows server that handles DNS/DHCP. Feel free to leverage any standard diagnostic tools—packet captures, spectrum analysis, controller logs—whatever helps you zero in on the fault quickly.

Deliverables
• Identify the exact configuration errors affecting wireless connectivity
• Apply a corrected configuration and verify stable performance (no drops for at least two hours of continuous load testing)
• Provide a brief report outlining root cause, changes made and any recommendations for future upkeep

Once the network holds steady, I’ll confirm everything on my end and sign off. If you need any additional information—topology diagrams, firmware versions, or specific log exports—just let me know and I’ll get them to you right away.

Skills: System Admin, Computer Security, Cisco, Network Administration, Network Engineering, Wireless Site Survey, Wireless Network Security Analysis, Wireless Network Risk Analysis & Reduction

I'm looking for an experienced Network Engineer or Cybersecurity professional to deliver a 3-month training program covering networking and network security fundamentals. My goal is to be job-ready and interview-ready for real IT and cybersecurity roles, so I need clear, step-by-step explanations of every concept — not just what a technology is, but how it works, why it's used, and how to apply it on the job. The program should cover networking essentials (OSI/TCP-IP models, protocols, IP addressing, subnetting, routing, switching, DNS, DHCP), security fundamentals (firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS, NAT, common attacks and defenses), and practical skills including essential commands, troubleshooting techniques, and hands-on labs using tools like Packet Tracer, Wireshark, and Nmap. I also want real workplace scenarios woven in — such as handling "network down" tickets, securing wireless networks, and explaining technical issues to non-technical stakeholders — plus mock interview questions to prepare me for technical interviews. The ideal candidate has current real-world experience (not just textbook knowledge), strong communication skills, and the ability to provide a structured syllabus for the 12 weeks. To apply, please share a brief outline of how you'd structure the program, your relevant experience, your rate (hourly or fixed for 3 months), and your availability for a quick intro call.

We have a PHP website used for internal document control hosted on a cloud-based Apache server. We use MySQL for database functions. We need help with the following:
* Resolving bugs with the existing PHP code as they are found
* Adding new functionality, using PHP and MySQL
* Patching PHP and fixing deprecated functions
* Optimizing firewall settings
* Implementing recommended security updates
* Securing FTP access and settings

Key skill is ensuring everything works smoothly after any changes are made. Anticipate needing 10 hours/week for 2-3 months but this will flex up and down depending on the needs of the team.

Each time I open my UCP in a web browser I immediately see the message “Unable to connect to the UCP Node Server. Error: xhr poll error.” Because the error shows up at page load—before any clicks or interaction—I’m convinced the problem sits in the initial Socket.IO long-polling or WebSocket handshake between the browser and my Node-based server.

I need a developer who can trace the fault, correct whatever is blocking or mis-configuring the connection, and leave the panel loading cleanly for every visitor. Possible culprits include CORS rules, transport fallbacks, reverse-proxy headers, SSL termination, or even a firewall that drops the polling request; I’m open to any solution that gets rid of the error without breaking existing features.

Deliverables
• Diagnose the root cause using browser dev-tools, server logs, and your preferred debugging stack
• Patch the Node server code and/or proxy configuration so the browser connects on the first try
• Provide a concise change log and verification steps showing the page now loads with no “xhr poll error”

If you have recent experience fixing Socket.IO or similar real-time Node issues, this should be a quick win.

Skills: JavaScript, Web Security, Debugging, Node.js, Web Development, Frontend Development, API Development, SSL

Need a consultant with experience helping small US-based software firms pass penetration testing and SOC2 Type 2 compliance. We develop Windows solutions installed in client environments and host websites using Azure App Service Plans with SQL Azure, with plans to expand to client data hosting. We also use Azure VMs for internal and client applications and have an on-premise network and server protected by a firewall, used only by developers. We need guidance on how to pass PEN testing and SOC2 Type 2 compliance based on similar software firm experiences.

A Python service: FastAPI, MQTT, SQLite, scheduling
Unit and integration tests, plus mock builds that run without hardware

What we don't have is the production platform around it. Right now devices are set up by hand. We need someone experienced in embedded Linux to turn this into something we can install, update and support in the field without touching each device.

Scope of work:
Reproducible device image. Build a Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) image with one command. It should include a pinned kernel, the HailoRT driver and runtime, our packaged applications, and models. Tooling could be rpi-image-gen, pi-gen, or Yocto if you can justify it.
Application packaging. Package our C++ and Python components as .deb packages or another standard format, using standard filesystem paths and systemd units. We'll do much of this ourselves first; we need you to review it and standardize it.
Safe over-the-air updates. A/B system updates with automatic rollback triggered by our health endpoint, signed artifacts, and separate app-only updates. We expect Mender, but we're open to RAUC or SWUpdate with a reasoned recommendation.
Handling the HailoRT kernel driver. A strategy for updating the kernel and OS without breaking the HailoRT kernel module.
Device hardening. No default credentials, non-root services, a firewall, an SSH policy, a read-only or overlay root filesystem where practical, a hardware watchdog, and protection against power loss and SD card wear.
Provisioning and identity. Unique per-device credentials or certificates, plus a first-boot setup flow for device name, site and network.
CI pipeline. Automated ARM64 builds, versioned releases and artifact signing. GitHub Actions or GitLab CI is preferred.
Documentation. A runbook covering how to build, release, provision a new device, roll out an update, and recover a failed device.

Milestones (fixed price per milestone):
M1: A reproducible image that boots and runs our application, built from a script in our repo.
M2: Working OTA updates, including a live demo where a deliberately broken update rolls back automatically.
M3: Hardening, provisioning and per-device identity complete.
M4: CI pipeline and runbook delivered and handed off.

Required experience:
Shipping embedded Linux products to the field, not only servers or cloud
Raspberry Pi or other ARM single-board computer image builds (pi-gen, rpi-image-gen, Yocto or Buildroot)
OTA systems with A/B partitions and rollback (Mender, RAUC, SWUpdate)
systemd, Debian packaging, kernel modules / DKMS
Linux security hardening for unattended devices

Nice to have:
Hailo, NVIDIA Jetson, or other edge AI accelerators
Camera and GStreamer pipelines on embedded Linux
Fleet management platforms (Mender, balena)

Not in scope:
Application logic, inference models, the API, or dashboards. Those stay with our team.

To apply, please answer:
How would you make updates fail-safe on a device mounted on a ceiling with no physical access?
How do you handle kernel updates when a vendor kernel driver (like HailoRT) depends on a specific kernel version?
How would you give each device unique credentials during provisioning?
Describe an embedded device fleet you shipped: hardware, update system, and number of devices.

An NDA and IP assignment agreement will be required before you get access to the repository.

We are looking for an L1 Engineer to support the below onsite activity:
Scope of Work:
Rack & Stack of Cisco network devices.
Provide console access to the Remote Engineer (RE).
Follow the instructions provided by the Remote Engineer during the activity.
Travel: No travel charges applicable.
Schedule: The activity date and time will be confirmed shortly.

I’m ready to overhaul my house with a properly planned, high-performance LAN. The goal is to move beyond the patchwork of extenders and ad-hoc cabling I have now and end up with a single, well-documented home network that delivers reliable, wired Gigabit speeds to every room while still supporting strong Wi-Fi where it matters.

Here’s what I need from you:

• A clear topology and wiring diagram based on the floor plan I’ll share.
• An equipment list—router, managed or unmanaged switches, patch panel, access points, cabling type, and any enclosures—chosen for value and long-term reliability.
• Step-by-step configuration notes for VLANs, DHCP, basic firewall rules, and device naming so I can maintain the setup after you finish.
• Simple labelling and documentation standards to keep future additions painless.
• A final validation checklist (throughput, latency, and basic security tests) so we both know the job is truly complete.

I’ll supply any existing hardware details and the ISP hand-off specs as soon as we start. If you prefer particular design tools—Visio, NetBox, even plain draw.io—just let me know; I’m flexible as long as the output is readable and editable.

Once your design is approved, I’ll order the gear and either implement it myself following your guide or book you for remote walk-through support. My measure of success is simple: every room gets a stable Gigabit drop, Wi-Fi dead zones disappear, and the whole setup is tidy enough to impress an auditor.

If that sounds like a challenge you enjoy, tell me how you’d tackle it and share a quick example of a previous home or small-office network you’ve planned.

Skills: System Admin, Computer Security, Cisco, Network Administration, Technical Documentation, Network Security, Network Engineering, Draw.io

Patch Cap is seeking an experienced IT systems and endpoint-security professional to configure two new Windows laptops before they are issued to members of our team.

Patch Cap operates in financial services and handles commercially sensitive, financial and compliance-related information. The laptops must therefore be configured as centrally managed company devices rather than ordinary consumer computers.

The initial project covers two Windows laptops, likely manufactured by Dell or another established business-laptop provider. The devices will ultimately be used internationally. The selected consultant may configure the laptops remotely while they remain in Patch Cap’s custody, or Patch Cap may ship the laptops to a properly vetted consultant for secure physical configuration and return shipment. Applicants should explain their recommended approach, including any chain-of-custody, shipping, insurance and device-security requirements.

We use Google Workspace for company email, identity and document collaboration. Our preferred endpoint architecture is Microsoft Intune with Microsoft Defender for Business, integrated appropriately with our Google Workspace environment. We are open to a comparable recommendation if the consultant can explain why it would provide better security, administration and scalability.

Scope of Work
The consultant will be expected to:
1. Recommend and Configure the Management Architecture
- Review our requirements and recommend the appropriate licensing and technical architecture.
- Configure Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Defender for Business, or another approved endpoint-management solution.
- Ensure that all tenants, subscriptions, administrative accounts and licenses are established in Patch Cap’s name and under Patch Cap-controlled email addresses.
- Integrate the endpoint-management environment appropriately with Google Workspace.
- Configure Google Endpoint Verification and managed Chrome policies where appropriate.
2. Enroll and Configure the Laptops
- Install or verify a clean and current version of Windows 11 Pro.
- Install all operating-system, driver, BIOS, firmware and security updates.
- Enroll both laptops as company-owned devices in the selected management platform.
- Configure each laptop for its assigned Patch Cap user.
- Create standard user accounts without routine local-administrator privileges.
- Create a separate company-controlled administrator account for maintenance and recovery.
- Disable guest accounts and unnecessary default services.
3. Apply Security Controls
- Enable and verify BitLocker full-disk encryption.
- Store BitLocker recovery keys securely within a Patch Cap-controlled management platform.
- Enable Secure Boot, TPM and other supported hardware-security features.
- Configure Microsoft Defender for Business or an approved equivalent.
- Enable firewall, malware, ransomware and web-threat protections.
- Configure automatic operating-system and application updates.
- Establish password, PIN and automatic screen-lock requirements.
- Require multifactor authentication for company systems.
- Restrict or monitor removable storage and USB devices as appropriate.
- Restrict unauthorized software installation.
- Prevent the use of personal cloud-storage services for Patch Cap information.
- Configure remote lock, device retirement and remote-wipe capabilities.
- Ensure the management and security software cannot be removed by an ordinary user.
4. Install and Configure Approved Applications
Applications are expected to include:
- Google Chrome with centrally managed policies;
- Google Drive for Desktop;
- Google Workspace access;
- Google Meet and/or Zoom;
- an approved office-productivity suite;
- approved PDF software;
- a company password manager;
- Microsoft Defender or another approved endpoint-security application; and
- approved remote-support software.
The consultant should recommend any additional applications required for secure operation without installing unnecessary software.
5. Configure Data Protection and Access
- Ensure company documents are stored in approved Google Drive locations rather than only on the local device.
- Configure appropriate Google Workspace access controls and device verification.
- Apply access based on each user’s role.
- Establish a process for removing company data and access when a worker leaves Patch Cap.
- Confirm that Patch Cap can disable access and remotely secure or erase a lost or stolen laptop.
6. Asset Management and Documentation
Create and deliver:
- an asset register containing the manufacturer, model, serial number, assigned user, purchase date, warranty information and Patch Cap asset number for each laptop;
- a record of the security policies and configurations applied;
- an application inventory;
- confirmation of encryption, endpoint-protection and update status;
- an administrator and recovery-key register stored securely under Patch Cap’s control;
- a written onboarding procedure for future laptops;
- a written offboarding procedure for departing employees and consultants;
- a brief user guide covering login, MFA, password management, security incidents and technical support; and
- an administrator guide explaining how Patch Cap can monitor, lock, retire, reassign and wipe devices.
7. Testing and Handover
Before completion, the consultant must:
- confirm that both laptops appear in the management console;
- confirm that the required security policies have been applied;
- verify BitLocker encryption and recovery-key storage;
- verify endpoint-protection and firewall status;
- confirm application and update deployment;
- confirm that users do not have unauthorized administrator privileges;
- confirm that Patch Cap has remote lock and wipe capabilities;
- conduct an administrator handover session with Patch Cap;
- provide all configuration and recovery documentation; and
- remove or surrender all temporary access granted to the consultant.
The consultant must not retain Patch Cap credentials, recovery keys, device access or copies of company information following completion.
Access and Security Requirements
The selected consultant will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement before receiving administrative access.

Patch Cap will provide a dedicated, temporary administrative account with only the permissions required for the project. The consultant will not receive or use the personal credentials of Patch Cap executives, employees or consultants.

No management tenant, subscription, administrator account or recovery mechanism may be established under the freelancer’s personal or business email address. Patch Cap must remain the sole owner and ultimate administrator of the environment.

All project access must be documented and removed or reduced upon completion of the engagement.

- multifactor authentication;
- endpoint security and least-privilege administration;
- remote device support;
- employee onboarding and offboarding; and
- technical documentation for small or growing organizations.

Title: Deploy a Node.js 22 business app to a cloud VPS (Docker, Caddy, HTTPS, backups, monitoring)
Description
We're a new home-services call center (experienced team) launching our internal business app in the next 30 days. The app is already built and runs locally. We need an experienced DevOps or Node.js engineer to put it on a production cloud server, make sure everything works, and hand us a simple runbook.
About the app
• Node.js 22, plain JavaScript, no npm packages; built-in http server with a small router
• Data in one JSON file on disk (data/db.json); uploads in a data folder
• Docker image (node:22-alpine) and docker-compose.yml with Caddy for HTTPS are included; also runs as a Linux service behind Caddy
• Health check at /healthz; settings through environment variables
• Code in a private GitHub repository (access given after hire and NDA)
Scope
1. Help us choose and set up the hosting account (US East VPS with a permanent disk, snapshots and Docker; we'll pay the host directly).
2. Harden the server: SSH keys only, firewall (80, 443 only), automatic security updates, non-root user.
3. Deploy production with docker-compose and Caddy; point myserviceprocall.com and set up HTTPS.
4. Set up a smaller staging copy on its own subdomain.
5. Persistent /data volume; daily server snapshots plus a nightly off-server copy of the data folder; run one test restore.
6. Uptime monitoring with text/email alerts, log rotation, and a simple status page.
7. A deploy script or GitHub Actions workflow: push to deploy to staging, one command to promote to production, one-step rollback.
8. Test the app end to end with us: sign-in, main screens, email sending (SMTP), file uploads, restart survival.
9. A short runbook: how to deploy, roll back, restore, rotate secrets and check health.

Skills: JavaScript, Linux, NoSQL Couch & Mongo, Node.js, VPS, Docker, Cloud, DevOps

We are seeking an experienced OpenCart 3 and server specialist to resolve critical issues on our production digital store (OpenCart 3.0.2.0, hosted on a Namecheap VPS behind Cloudflare).

Key Tasks:

Safely Uninstall / Clean OpenCart Lightning Module & Restore Images:

The site uses "OpenCart Lightning" (v4.35) which has rewritten image URLs to its own .webp cache.

When disabling/removing Lightning, all product images disappear/break (404 / broken paths).

We need an expert to completely and cleanly remove OpenCart Lightning (including its .htaccess rewrite rules, modifications/OCMOD, and database/cache ties) and ensure OpenCart’s native image handling (/image/cache/) works flawlessly so images load on the very first visit across all regions without needing a VPN.

Fix Checkout Payment Method Error:

At checkout (Step 3: Payment Method), even when selecting "Credit / Debit Card (Stripe)" and accepting Terms & Conditions, OpenCart returns: "Warning: Payment method required!".

Need to resolve the underlying session/AJAX saving failure or module conflict so the order transitions smoothly to payment.

Configure & Verify Outgoing SMTP Order Notifications:

Neither the store admin nor customers receive order confirmation/status emails.

Configure SMTP properly (via domain/cPanel or external SMTP) and ensure server/firewall outgoing mail delivery works.

Full backup of the site and database is available. Testing and verification must be performed live on the store before project completion.

Please apply only if you have solid hands-on experience cleanly stripping OpenCart Lightning and resolving checkout bugs.

Skills: PHP, CSS, eCommerce, MySQL, HTML, Open Cart, VPS, Web Development, SMTP, Cloudflare

Seeking malware removal from five Wordpress sites hosted by Hostgator: One primary domain and four subdomains.

Beside that, eight unused sites need be deleted. (I tried deleting the directories myself, but a persistent malware script or backdoor on the hosting account keeps regenerating and replacing these folders the next day.) Please trace the root source of this infection, delete these unused directories, and ensure they cannot self-replicate.

I am a non-tech person and am not completely sure whether all five sites are built on WordPress, or if they all use the Divi theme. Because of this, the malware may have corrupted other unknown themes on the server. I do have a clean, zipped version of the Divi theme ready to share if it helps for the sites that use it. Please audit the themes on the other sites and let me know what you find.

Note: A couple of the domains deal with intimacy coaching and relationship topics. The titles contain words that some conservative environments might flag. Will this pose any firewall issues or personal discomfort for you while working in the cPanel/databases?

Budget is set to $150 as a starting point, but I am willing to go higher for a top-tier security specialist who can offer a 30-day warranty against re-infection.

I am looking for an experienced Linux Server Administrator / DevOps Engineer to migrate my existing production server environment from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to a GoDaddy VPS.

My current Oracle server hosts:

1 backend

1 frontend website

4 applications

Associated databases, storage buckets, files, configurations, and supporting services

The objective is to move the complete working environment to the new GoDaddy VPS while preserving the existing architecture, configurations, functionality, and integrations.

This is a production environment, so the migration must be handled carefully, with proper backups, testing, minimal downtime, and a rollback plan.

Scope of Work

1. Audit the Existing Oracle Server

Before starting the migration, review the current server and identify all components that need to be transferred, including:

Operating system and installed packages

Apache2 configuration, virtual hosts, and reverse proxy rules

PHP, Laravel, Node.js, and other runtimes or services currently in use

Frontend and backend deployment configurations

All four applications and their dependencies

Databases, users, permissions, and connection settings

Storage buckets, uploaded files, media, and associated storage integrations

SSL certificates, HTTPS configurations, domains, and subdomains

Environment variables and application configuration files

PM2 processes, background workers, queues, cron jobs, and scheduled tasks, where applicable

Firewall rules, open ports, SSH configuration, and other relevant security settings

Any additional services, scripts, or dependencies required for the applications to operate correctly

The freelancer must identify dependencies and existing configurations before making changes.

2. Prepare and Configure the GoDaddy VPS

Set up the destination server to support the existing environment, including:

Installing and configuring the required operating system packages and software versions

Configuring Apache2, virtual hosts, reverse proxies, and application routing

Installing compatible PHP, Node.js, database software, and other required dependencies

Configuring application processes and services to start automatically after a reboot

Setting up appropriate file ownership, permissions, firewall rules, and SSH security

Configuring SSL certificates and HTTPS

Recreating the necessary server-level settings and application integrations

The goal is to reproduce the current working environment on the new server without unnecessary architectural changes.

3. Migrate All Applications, Databases, Files & Storage

Transfer and configure all required resources, including:

The backend and frontend website

All four applications and their associated server-side components

Complete databases, including data, schemas, users, permissions, and relevant settings

All required uploaded files, media, and storage assets

Storage buckets and their contents, permissions, access policies, and application connections, where applicable

Application environment files and service configurations

All relevant integrations, scheduled jobs, and background processes

If any storage bucket or other resource is hosted outside the Oracle server, the freelancer must identify its location and determine how to preserve or migrate it correctly.

Important: Copying the website files alone is not sufficient. The entire application environment and its dependencies must be accounted for.

4. Testing and Verification

Before completing the project, thoroughly test the new environment to confirm that:

The backend and frontend are operational.

All four applications and their server-side integrations work correctly.

Database connections and existing data are intact.

Uploaded files and media load correctly.

Storage buckets and application access permissions work as expected.

APIs, domain routing, SSL certificates, and HTTPS work correctly.

Background workers, scheduled jobs, and application processes operate correctly.

No critical errors appear in application or server logs.

The applications continue running after a server restart.

5. DNS Cutover and Final Migration

Once the destination server has passed testing:

Coordinate the DNS changes required to point the relevant domains and subdomains to GoDaddy.

Minimize service interruption during the final cutover.

Perform a final data synchronization where necessary to avoid losing changes made during migration.

Monitor the applications after the switch.

Keep the original Oracle environment available until the new server has been verified and accepted.

I do not want the old environment shut down before the new environment is confirmed to be working correctly.

6. Documentation and Handover

At completion, provide:

A summary of the migrated services and configurations

A list of software versions and running services

Details of any configuration differences or outstanding issues

Instructions for restarting services and performing basic server maintenance

Confirmation that backups and a rollback procedure are available

A short handover explaining how the migrated environment is organized

Required Experience

Please apply only if you have demonstrable experience with:

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to VPS or cloud-server migrations

GoDaddy VPS or equivalent Linux VPS administration

Linux server administration and troubleshooting

Apache2, virtual hosts, reverse proxies, and SSL

PHP/Laravel and Node.js applications, where applicable

MySQL/MariaDB or the database technology used in the existing environment

Server-side application deployments and process management

Cloud object storage, buckets, permissions, and file migrations

Production server security, backups, DNS, and troubleshooting

Experience migrating multiple applications running on a shared production server is strongly preferred.

Deliverables and Acceptance Criteria

The project will be considered complete when:

All agreed websites, backend services, and four applications are migrated.

Required databases, files, storage assets, and integrations are working.

Apache and other necessary services are configured correctly.

Domains, HTTPS, APIs, and application routing work as expected.

All agreed functionality passes testing on the GoDaddy VPS.

The freelancer provides the migration documentation and handover.

The old Oracle environment can be retired only after my final approval.

Before Applying

Please answer the following questions in your proposal:

Have you previously migrated a production server from Oracle Cloud to another VPS provider? Please describe a similar project.

How would you audit the existing server to identify all applications, dependencies, configurations, databases, and storage resources before migration?

How would you minimize downtime and prevent data loss during the final migration?

What information would you need from me to estimate the work accurately?

What is your proposed timeline and fixed-price estimate after reviewing the scope?

I can provide the necessary server access and technical information to the selected freelancer through a secure process.

Please note: This project is for infrastructure migration and configuration, not application redevelopment. Any proposed changes to the existing architecture must be discussed and approved before implementation.

I am looking for a reliable, security-conscious professional who can take ownership of the migration and deliver a stable, fully tested environment.

Set up a Spanish classifieds site on Osclass 8.x (osclass-classifieds.com branch) on a Contabo VPS. Fixed price, four milestones paid on acceptance.

Milestone 1 — VPS and install

Set up the VPS on Contabo (Ubuntu LTS): Nginx or Apache, PHP 8.3+, MySQL/MariaDB, Let’s Encrypt SSL, firewall, fail2ban, daily automated backups, Cloudflare in front
Osclass 8.x, Delta or Epsilon theme (MB Themes), child theme only, no core modifications, auto-upgrade on
Spanish UI and emails
Locations v3 with Spain dataset (provinces + municipalities)
SMTP email (Postmark or Brevo)
Deliver server documentation and all credentials

Milestone 2 — Scraping and SEO

Scrape the old site from web.archive.org: categories, city pages, static pages, blog posts, URL patterns
Rebuild the same URL structure; 301 every URL in the backlink export I provide
Old listings: import as expired only if description is substantial or URL has backlinks; remove names, phones, emails; no images with faces or plates. All others 301 to category/city page
Expired listings stay online and indexable: “anuncio caducado” notice, contact form disabled, similar active ads block, owner can delete from dashboard, auto-noindex after 6 months if no backlinks
Metadata, canonicals, XML sitemaps, robots.txt, structured data (Product/Offer, BreadcrumbList, Organization), WebP + lazy loading, Core Web Vitals green on mobile, GA4, Search Console
Noindex on category/city pages with fewer than 3 active listings and on search/filter pages
Acceptance: zero 404s on linked URLs (Screaming Frog)

Milestone 3 — Moderation

Osclass ban rules + security plugins: banned words, blocked categories, duplicate phone/email, rate limiting
Separate microservice (Python or Node) called on pre_item_post and edited_item: sends title, text, images to an LLM API, returns publish / review / reject. Review = not published. Service down = manual queue. Log every decision
Acceptance: 50 valid + 50 trap ads I provide, all classified correctly

Milestone 4 — Payments and go-live

Osclass Pay + Stripe for featured ads and bumps
Theme ad slots (header, in-results, sidebar, listing page, mobile anchor) editable from backoffice; editable ads.txt
Privacy policy, terms, cookie consent with Consent Mode v2, user data export and account deletion
Weekly email digest to owner: key metrics + review queue
End-to-end test of posting flow as anonymous mobile user
30 days bug fixing after go-live

Native Osclass features (search, dashboard, expiration/renewal, contact form, report, CAPTCHA, email verification) are configuration only, not custom work.

I provide: Contabo account access, domain, backlink export, test ads, API keys, theme and plugin licences.

Proposal must include: links to Osclass sites you’ve worked on, one scraping example, one LLM/API integration example, price per milestone, delivery time. No proposals to rebuild on another stack.

Skills: PHP, Osclass, MySQL, Linux Server Administration, Nginx, Web Scraping, Python, LLM API Integration, Technical SEO, Stripe, GDPR

Budget: Fixed, $100. Duration: 3–4 weeks.

We are looking for an experienced Medusa.js v2 developer / DevOps engineer to deploy a secure, production-ready e-commerce backend on our existing OVHcloud VPS.

Project background

We already have a custom e-commerce frontend built with Cloudflare Workers. We only need the Medusa backend infrastructure installed, configured, secured and tested.

Server specifications

OVHcloud VPS hosted in Frankfurt, Germany

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 75 GB NVMe

SSH key access available

Scope of work

Resolve an existing Ubuntu account/password expiration issue. The VPS is currently in rescue mode.

Secure the server, including SSH access, firewall configuration and operating system updates.

Deploy the latest stable Medusa.js v2 release.

Install and configure PostgreSQL and Redis.

Configure separate Medusa API and background worker processes.

Set up a maintainable Docker Compose deployment with persistent storage.

Configure HTTPS using a reverse proxy.

Secure Medusa Admin access and prevent public access to PostgreSQL and Redis.

Configure automatic service restarts and basic health monitoring.

Set up automated database backups and demonstrate a successful restore.

Verify the API and Admin are working correctly.

Provide deployment documentation, configuration files and a complete handover.

Important requirements

No storefront development is required.

No website redesign or frontend development is required.

No product migration is required.

Our existing Cloudflare Workers frontend must remain untouched.

The infrastructure should support future integration with Mollie payments.

All configuration files and deployment scripts must remain under our ownership.

No unnecessary paid third-party services or vendor lock-in.

Use secure, maintainable production practices.

Deliverables

A working Medusa v2 backend and Admin panel, secured and running on our VPS, including database, Redis, HTTPS, backups, deployment configuration and documentation.

Budget: $200 fixed price

We are open to reasonable proposals from candidates with proven Medusa v2 experience.

Please answer these questions when applying:

Have you deployed Medusa.js v2 on a self-hosted production VPS before?

Can you describe a similar deployment you completed?

How would you separate the Medusa API and worker processes?

How would you secure the Admin panel and database?

Can you complete the deployment, documentation and backup testing within your proposed fixed price?

What is your estimated delivery time?

We are looking for someone who understands production infrastructure, not just someone who can run the Medusa installation command.

I have a USB-connected printer that is shared from one Windows PC to another. The second computer can see the device on the network but fails to connect every time I try to add it. I need someone who can quickly diagnose what is blocking the connection—permissions, driver mismatch, firewall rules, or anything else—and get the shared printer working reliably on both machines.

Once the job is done I should be able to hit “Print” on the second PC and watch the document leave the queue and come out of the printer without errors or stalls. Remote assistance is fine as long as the fix is fully tested before we wrap up.

Skills: Windows Desktop, Troubleshooting, C# Programming, Technical Support, Microsoft, Windows Server, Network Administration, Computer Support
