Part 7 of my Ultimate Cybersecurity Lab Project! In this episode expand our lab to the cloud! We create a site-to-site VPN from our pfSense firewall to Azure, we also configure Dynamic DNS (DDNS) using duckdns.
Gerard, I am sending folks to get their 101 with networking and hypervisor knowledge over to this channel. You are a great teacher. Keep it going :) More on the Red-Purple-Blue teams please!!
Finally, I completed all labs in all Episode. The hardest part for me is mcvlan in Episode 2. My bwapp container did not get ip address as my infra server is esxi not proxmox. I stucked for 3 days until I turned on promiscuous mode in esxi port-group, then bwapp started getting ip. I learned so many technology from your labs. Thank you so much and keep up the good work !
Thank you Gerard for doing this, I have learned a lot!! as it runs down the line of what I'm doing. I can't wait to see the videos on how you put all of this to work!
amazing setup . I've folowed all the way and had hiccups becuse of virtualbox. i have my cloud subscriptions also expired. but all in all its a perfect lab . thank you very much really appreciate it.
for a neophyte this was a really cool list to follow along. Of course further knowledge regarding networks & system administration will be needed (at least on my side, there are many concepts im missing, but that's a bit more boring, better to grasp on the go... to feed the bug). For sure, if you would build a new list using all this tools and doing different analysis and trainings on red hat/ blue hat situations i will enjoy them. Great job, easy to follow and raised my awareness on security. I appreciate it
Hi Gerard - This was a great series and I was able to follow along all the way. Built the whole thing on 1 HP Elitedesk G4 mini with 2 x 1TB nvme and 32GB RAM. I can't run all VMs at once, but I rarely would need to. I went with cloudflare for DDNS because I already had a domain there. I also added rules in pfsense that blocked all traffic in the lab from reaching the rest of my home network. If you did that, I missed it somehow. Thanks for making these! I look forward to playing in the lab I now have. I'd like to sort out how to expand the lab network to the other proxmox nodes in my cluster. That'd let me spread the VMs around a bit.
Big G, you are awesome! I've followed your setup from the first vid until now. My setup was a bit different though given I was deploying machines in a VMware Workstation environment. My laptop is capped at 32GB memory, so I had to forgo certain VM deployments just to be able to have things running concurrently. I'm very happy with the outcome and I appreciate your walkthroughs. I will say that there was some blood, sweat, and tears HAHA! I would go to sleep while your instructional videos were playing in the background while wondering why my setup wasn't working lol. But that was the beauty of it, finally figuring it out and documenting as well as taking snapshots of good/working VM configurations in case I did something to ruin them.
hi Gerard, thanks for another solid content. My question though is why should we already delete the vpn gateway and resources that were created in Azure? aren't going to need it further down the line? or are we going to recreate them?
You can keep them there if you plan to use them often.. but you do need to pay for them... I usually just create when I need to build stuff for a day 👍
Mahn. Your channel is a hidden gem. I faced some problems with installing my windows 10 VM in video 5. It doesn't find the media to boot up with despite doing it exactly how you did it.
incase you didn't resolve this yet, you need to change the boot order in the Options of theVM, for whatever reason, the iso kept getting placed in second position so cm couldn't boot from it
Yep sure is! I actually have two versions of the lab, a dev version that I test/break all the time and a prod one I use for videos! I don't turn them all on at the same time though as it would explode 😀
Let me check it out and get back to you! Is this so you don't have to use the console for access? I've installed TeamViewer free on my kali machine and sometimes use that and it's good and fast 👍
@@gerardobrien Yeah, TeamViewer is one way, i use proxmox console. But it would be nice to just be able to connect from my linux box. I'm going to search for a way, but perhaps that was on your todo list ? So I thought I ask.
Sir,is cybersecurity related to Microsoft azure,aws?if i do this course would be help for me?OR As a begineer what i need to do?Please advice sir.Thank you
I need ddns as my public IP is dynamic, it changes every day. If I used a dynamic ip for the pfsense side of the VPN... And when it changes the VPN will go down. If you use ddns, and an fqdn for the VPN the VPN will stay online even when the public IP changes. 👍
Hey, just checking the website.... I dont think haproxy offers DDNS.... "HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications."

Thanks glad you enjoyed it!! I'm working on more videos, also some other series ideas 😀

Amazing great to hear! Already planning the next lab so save some HD space 😊

Brilliant effort mate well done! :) Loads more to come!
Thanks!
WOW this is amazing thank you very much!! 😀
Can you also make a video about clustering in proxmox . Thank you and planning to build the very same home lab.
Thank you so much please keep this series of cyber security Lab

I just subbed so f-in hard. This is incredible!!!
😂 best comment yet
You are a legend mate!
IS this all on tha same proxmox you set up a while ago
Yep sure is! I actually have two versions of the lab, a dev version that I test/break all the time and a prod one I use for videos! I don't turn them all on at the same time though as it would explode 😀
is there a way to setup a vpn inside the lab ? so i can just connect with my windows/linux client and get inside the env. ?

You could definitely create a VPN on the pfsense firewall and connect to it internally from your home network.. I'll take a look 😬
Sir,is cybersecurity related to Microsoft azure,aws?if i do this course would be help for me?OR As a begineer what i need to do?Please advice sir.Thank you
Go through the video series, build and follow if you can! Its fairly low level as a beginner you should be able to follow 🙂
why are you doing ddns when you are already in the cloud
I need ddns as my public IP is dynamic, it changes every day. If I used a dynamic ip for the pfsense side of the VPN... And when it changes the VPN will go down. If you use ddns, and an fqdn for the VPN the VPN will stay online even when the public IP changes. 👍
@@gerardobrien haproxy can also be a solution to this right?
Hey, just checking the website.... I dont think haproxy offers DDNS.... "HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications."
@gerardobrien overall how much do you think you spend on this lab?
