Network and firewall for Mepla

2019–2025

I helped the manufacturing firm Mepla segment their network into VLANs, select and deploy a Sophos firewall, and set up a redundant VPN to their parent company in Germany.

I analysed the network’s problems and designed its segmentation into VLANs. I evaluated several security gateways, then prepared the Sophos firewall configuration and supported its deployment (2023–2024).

SSL VPN and IPsec VPN to the head office in Germany, with a second tunnel and failover,
traffic shaping, DHCP protection, NAT for the camera and attendance systems,
consulting and support for the local administrator.
