FreeBSD

Stand up a fast, modern WireGuard VPN on a FreeBSD VPS — key generation, wg-quick, packet forwarding, and pf NAT so your clients route out through the server.

The same plans and portal, one different OS — here is exactly what changes when you run FreeBSD instead of Linux, and when FreeBSD is the better pick.

First login, an unprivileged admin account, timezone and updates, and the LYLIX portal controls you get on a FreeBSD server.

Patch the base system with freebsd-update and your packages with pkg, watch your release end-of-life, and upgrade between releases safely.

Configure FreeBSD's native pf firewall: a hardened default-deny ruleset, tables and overload for brute-force defense, NAT/redirects, and how it layers with the…

Install, search, pin, and remove software with pkg; switch to the latest package branch; enable services in rc.conf; and when to reach for ports.

Use FreeBSD's native jails to isolate each service in its own lightweight environment — set up with Bastille, networked with pf, all on one VPS.

Install and initialise PostgreSQL on a FreeBSD VPS, open it to your app safely with pf, and set up dependable backups.

Run your own mail on a FreeBSD VPS with Postfix, Dovecot, and Rspamd — and get the reverse DNS, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC right so it actually lands.

Recover a FreeBSD VPS that will not boot or has lost SSH using the LYLIX browser console, single-user mode, and rescue mode.
