I have a windows 8.1 desktop and a FreeNAS server in the other room. I am going to buy a laptop soon and would like to be able to remote into the GUI an put out fires or edit settings on the FreeNAS box if I need to.
Via lots of Googling, I found this awesome KB article about how to set up the Windows side of things: http://www.freenaskb.info/kb/?View=entry&EntryID=190
However, I haven't yet found a very good comprehensive guide for beginners on how to really lock down SSH authentication. I know that I can read through the manuals and bumble through the GUI and shell to get something set up and working. I'm not trying to be lazy, I'm simply being very security-aware and I know that with my limited knowledge on the general subject I would probably leave inadvertent holes all over my system.
Has anyone tracked down a good How-To for making sure the FreeNAS side of the SSH equation is as secure as possible?
Or am I really just barking up the wrong tree and should invest in some VPN hardware?
Thanks, All!
