Continuing the discussion from ClearOS refugee how can we help you?:

New potential convert, exploring what is the “best” way to implement a change.
My plan is to install NS8 into new hardware over a Rocky Linux “Base” install, configuring a firewall and installing the box between my internet connection and the ClearOS box with portforwarding required ports (25, 80, 443, VoiP ports etc.) to the old ClearOS server until I can get those services running on the new NS8 firewall. Does this seem like a sensible way to approach it?
I have a static IP from my provider and run web and email services on my ClearOS, and voip service devices in my network.
Internet ↔ NS8 <192,168,5,subnet> ClearOS <192.168.36.x subnet> Lan clients
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

You should start from this, take a look at the manual. It’s a complete firewall UTM

Alessio, is there a path to convert NethSecurity into NethServer?
Eventually I want to host e-mail, webservices etc on one server with up to date packages to I can re-install a drupal website with a recent release of drupal.
Thanks
Paul

If you want 1 server with firewall, mail, webserver, etc… the only option is to use VM if you want to go with Nethserver8/Nethsecurity

I’ve copied my COS7 server to a VM from a live (hardware) server.
Then installed Nethsecurity and made this my firewall with COS7 behind it.
After everything was running i mad a VM with NS8 and moved step by step all the services. When it was running on my NS8 i disabled it on the COS7 server.
With reverse proxy and port forwarding it is easy to coordinated the ports/domains
