Here’s your final project plan and a homework setup to practice locally before you move it to Oracle Cloud.

Final Project Plan (Oracle Cloud)

VM1: vpn.maxmarkagro.com

• OS: Ubuntu Server 22.04
• Services:
  • Netmod or WireGuard (VPN tunneling)
  • UFW firewall + fail2ban (security)
• Purpose: Route your PC’s internet traffic through Oracle Cloud.

VM2: monitor.maxmarkagro.com

• OS: Ubuntu Server 22.04
• Services:
  • Netdata – monitor both VMs (CPU, RAM, bandwidth, uptime, running services)
  • Cockpit (optional) – web-based management
• Purpose: Single-pane dashboard for instance health and VPN status.

Domain Setup

• Use Cloudflare DNS:
  • vpn.maxmarkagro.com → VM1 public IP (DNS only).
  • monitor.maxmarkagro.com → VM2 public IP (DNS only).
