First Cloud Deploy

This tutorial provides a baseline cloud deployment pattern.

Goal

Deploy t1n1wall with:

• One external/WAN-facing interface
• One internal/protected network
• Web UI management reachable only from trusted sources

Step 1: Provision image and instance

• Use the proper architecture image for your cloud target
• Attach required NICs/subnets before first boot

Step 2: Console bootstrap

1. Assign WAN and LAN interfaces
2. Set LAN management IP
3. Confirm default route on WAN

Step 3: Security baseline

• Restrict management access to trusted CIDRs
• Disable unnecessary exposed services
• Set unique admin credentials

Step 4: Verify data path

• Outbound traffic from LAN/subnet works
• Inbound traffic is blocked by default unless explicitly allowed

Step 5: Save and document

• Export config backup
• Record interface mapping and CIDRs

Troubleshooting

If WAN has link but no outbound traffic:

• Check cloud route tables
• Check security groups/ACLs
• Verify gateway and DNS settings in t1n1wall
