Any tips to optimizing and securing freebsd on kvm LEB ?
Hi,
In order to learn freebsd, i purchase 128MB KVM VPS from hostigation, and put my not so serious wordpress blog with +- 1000 pageviews per day on it.
I have recompiled the kernel to disable some features that i know will not be used.
I also installing nginx, php-fpm with 2 worker processess, and mysql to run wordpress.
Memory usage is quite low
freecolor -mo
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 115 66 49 0 0 3
Swap: 259 4 255
uptime 10:01AM up 4 days, 1:25, 1 user, load averages: 0.27, 0.19, 0.12
Except changing ssh port, i have no idea to securing my box.

The folks who do our tech support have a check list as well but it's covered under a NDA and I can't give it up. I'm not supposed to tell you that the items on those pages look familiar though. :whistle:
