About This Architecture
OCI secure hub-and-spoke architecture with OPNsense firewall centralizes network inspection across multiple VCNs using local peering gateways and forced routing through a transit subnet. Internet users and VPN admins connect through the hub's public subnet, while the OPNsense VM inspects all east-west and north-south traffic before it reaches private workload subnets in spoke VCNs. This design enforces zero-trust segmentation, prevents direct spoke-to-internet routing, and enables granular policy enforcement across Active Directory, web, and application tiers. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to adapt firewall rules, add additional spokes, or integrate with OCI security services. The architecture demonstrates OCI best practices for compartmentalized security and centralized threat prevention in multi-tenant environments.
