I am looking into setting up a small business network for a local charity. They want to be able to access files remotely and backup files automatically to/from a server inside their office. It's a budget projected that needs to be done at minimal cost to the charity for this to be viable.
They have about 8-9 computers total, a mix of windows PCs from 7 to 10. Each of which would need to be able to access the server and retrieve files. The files may contain some confidential business information that should be protected by a firewall and various security measures.
They currently use Spectrum for their internet service provider and receive 60mbps down / 10mbps up speeds.
Here's what I came up with:
Used Xeon server (dell refurbished or something) from the last 2-3 years with 4gb ram and raid support. I would use 2x2TB hard drives in a Raid 1 config. I would run Ubuntu server 16.04 on the server.
I would set up OPEN VPN and URBACKUP to allow people to remotely access the files and storage from outside the office and automatically have their files backed up.
I'm not exactly sure what to do about security.
Do you think that's a good start and what kind of security should I ad?
