Firewall Supply and Installation at Chicky Oink – 2nd Progress Update.

Introduction.

InstallersPH IT Solutions is pleased to share the second progress update for the ongoing Firewall Supply and Installation project at Chicky Oink. This stage concentrated on refining firewall configurations, tackling challenges in website blocking, and achieving significant milestones in device management for network security.

Static Mapping and Website Blocking Attempts.

One of the key tasks in this phase was the implementation of static mapping. Through static mapping, the firewall was configured to assign fixed IP addresses to devices across the network. This allowed the system to identify and control each device more efficiently.

Initially, this setup proved effective; the firewall successfully blocked the unwanted website that had previously bypassed restrictions. However, after further monitoring, the blocked site became accessible again. This revealed a deeper challenge in maintaining persistent filtering, which required the team to test additional methods and refine the firewall rules to ensure reliability.

Troubleshooting and Ongoing Methods.

The technical team dedicated time to exploring the firewall’s advanced features to permanently resolve the issue. Various approaches are being considered, including strengthening rule hierarchies, deploying deep packet inspection, and customizing security policies to ensure consistent enforcement. These ongoing troubleshooting efforts demonstrate the team’s commitment to delivering a fully functional and secure solution for Chicky Oink.

Mapping and Device Registration.

While the website filtering issue required more attention, the team achieved significant progress in another critical area. All company devices were successfully mapped and registered into the firewall system.

This step ensures that only recognized and approved devices are allowed to connect to the company’s Wi-Fi internet connection. By restricting access to registered devices, the company gains better control of its network, protecting against unauthorized connections and potential security breaches. This achievement alone strengthens Chicky Oink’s cybersecurity posture and reduces risks of bandwidth misuse or external intrusion.

Impact of the Progress.

The successful registration of all devices provides Chicky Oink with a more secure and streamlined network environment. Employees can now work with confidence, knowing that the firewall is safeguarding their internet usage against unauthorized access. Additionally, this advancement lays the foundation for future firewall improvements, particularly in stabilizing website filtering and traffic monitoring.

Next Steps:

Although great strides have been made, the project is not yet fully complete. The next steps will focus on finalizing the firewall’s website blocking features to ensure that unwanted sites remain permanently inaccessible. Once this issue is resolved, the firewall will meet the client’s full expectations of security, productivity, and control.

Conclusion.

The Firewall Supply and Installation project at Chicky Oink is nearing completion. The second progress update highlights both the achievements and challenges of this phase. With static mapping in place, all devices securely registered, and ongoing troubleshooting for website blocking, InstallersPH IT Solutions is steadily moving toward full deployment. The team remains committed to delivering a secure, reliable, and customized firewall solution for Chicky Oink.
