Network Configuration: VPN & Private Infrastructure
In high-fidelity engineering, the perimeter is defined by the integrity of the network. Edelweis implements Private Server Architectures and Encrypted VPN Tunnels to create a "Virtual Private Office," isolating traffic from the public internet and mitigating IP discovery risks.
1. Private Server Architecture
We utilize dedicated, isolated server instances to move beyond shared hosting environments:
Dedicated Resources
Every project is hosted on a private instance, ensuring performance is never throttled by shared network load.
Isolated Data Tiers
Vaults are located on non-publicly routable subnets, unreachable directly via the standard internet.
Next-Gen Firewalling
NGFW with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to monitor all incoming/outgoing traffic for security anomalies.
2. Encrypted VPN Tunneling
-
•
WireGuard / OpenVPN: High-performance VPN protocols providing military-grade encryption without traditional latency bottlenecks.
-
•
Site-to-Site Integration: Seamlessly bridging corporate networks directly to our Private Servers for "local-feeling" CAD access.
-
•
Always-On VPN (AOVPN): Workstations automatically establish secure connections before any engineering data is transmitted.
3. Network Segmentation & Zero-Trust
| Segment | Protocol | Access Level |
|---|---|---|
| Engineering VLAN | Full Bi-directional Tunnel. | Access to Master Modeling and Simulation Compute. |
| Vendor DMZ | Restricted One-way Proxy. | Access to specific TDP packages only. |
| Management Subnet | MFA-Locked SSH/RDP. | Infrastructure oversight and Vault administration. |
4. Monitoring & Intrusion Prevention
-
•
Real-time Analysis: Automated monitoring for large-scale data exfiltration that triggers immediate lockdown.
-
•
IP Whitelisting: Access restricted to a pre-defined list of verified IP addresses from headquarters and client offices.
-
•
Log Consolidation: Every connection attempt is logged and stored for review during V&V compliance audits.
Technical Directives
| Directive | Protocol |
|---|---|
| Split-Tunneling Ban | All internet traffic must pass through the VPN to prevent leakage to unsecured networks. |
| Kill-Switch | VPN clients must sever internet connections immediately if the secure tunnel drops. |
| DDoS Mitigation | Private servers are shielded by scrubbing layers to prevent service disruptions. |
