file encryption

[Cowby01]

Hello everyone,
Recently, I had a data leakage problem at the company I work for. I want to use pfSense along with some type of encryption to ensure that all server files are not accessible on machines outside the company network. Does anyone have any idea how I could implement this?

@Cowby01 On the surface this is easy. Do not allow the servers to talk to the internet and only allow authenticated users access to the files with file level security.

I suspect there is more to the question. What do you need help with?

You can use pfSense as gate to your network. By default it lets traffic out but nothing in. You can also limit outbound direction if you desire.
But pfSense doesn't encrypt files, that are stored on any other hosts inside your network.

You can encrypt data in motion, when you want to access your servers from outside by using a VPN. This can be terminated on pfSense though.
