OPNsense Remote Consultant Wanted (PAID Gig)

[braveheart_7]

Mods: Please forgive if not allowed. I did try to search for any rules against this.

Hi Experts,

(This is for Home Use Only. And I will pay $ for this.) I am somewhat new to OPNsense. Previously, I have used routers that I flashed with Tomato. I have decided not to use xxsense as I don't like the bad deeds committed in the past against OPNsense. And, I like the features and layout of OPNsense better. I have built my own OPNsense router based on an HP commercial desktop with Intel nics. I am capable of a basic config in OPNsense. But I need additional help remotely. I'd like to hire someone who can work with me in a Jitsi session.

Desires:
1 - I'm thinking of staying away from any of the additional plugins that are not supported unless someone makes a strong case to me. I tried setting up the AdGuard plugin which worked nicely. However, I got into trouble when I tried to implement ZenArmor which uses ElasticSearch.
2 - I would like strong security and privacy configured. This is my #1 goal. I'm thinking of certificates, firewall config, IDS, DNS configured for privacy, other options?
3 - (I know this contradicts item number 2.) I'd also like a setup that allows me to host some of my own services possibly.
4 - VPN client and server functionality.
5 - Vlans
There maybe be additional items once we talk.

That's all I can think of for now. Your expert help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
