Hi, been a user of FreeNAS for a few years now. I run it in a VM for file storage only. I love it, however, I'm noticing it's getting more and more features added I have no intention of using. My guess is that there are likely others like me. Stuff like docker, bhyve, etc. I don't mind the...

I had issues with this in the past and never got it resolved but now I'm having to revisit this task. I wouldn't think this would be so hard but I've had no luck with remote access on my plex server running on FreeNas. I called my ISP, since they NAT IP addresses by default and had them remove...
