Set up hostname as nas.mydommain.com in NAS config and on my domain's DNS zone to point to the NAS IP address.

Problem is, when I access nas.mydomain.com I get this 403 error:

Code:

Forbidden (403)

CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.

More information is available with DEBUG=True.

Another error I noticed, not sure what this means about "channel 2 memory error"

Code:

I'm running 9.10 stable.

Do you have your FreeNAS GUI exposed to the internet. That's a bad idea if you do.

 

[Chadi]

I'm sorry but what do you mean by that? What's the purpose of them creating the GUI if it shouldn't be accessible? It's only accessible to me, no one else anyway.

 

[Jailer]

Accessing from your LAN or accessing externally from the internet?

 

[Chadi]

Externally, but only I know the web address & IP. It's private info.

 

[Jailer]

Well FreeNAS was not designed or intended to be internet facing, it's intended to be an appliance used on a local network.

I would strongly suggest that you read the post linked here and follow these instructions if you intend to continue to access the GUI via the internet.

Edit: It seems you didn't learn from your earlier experience so I will leave you to figure this out on your own. Good luck.

...except to any portscanning script kiddie who scans your IP block. Nothing on FreeNAS can be safely exposed to the Internet, with the possible exception of ssh (if properly configured). But, as @Jailer notes, it looks like you've been down this road before, and haven't learned much (if anything) from it. Here's the really simple take-away: If you want to access your FreeNAS box remotely, set up a VPN.

As to your other question, it means you have a memory error, just like it says. One of your DIMMs is bad, or the socket is bad, or perhaps your CPU socket is bad.

Not a big fan of that one, as it relies on SSH port forwarding, which I don't think is nearly as clean a solution as a VPN--though it's still secure. But I guess there isn't an equally-good write-up on a VPN setup.

Agreed, but it was the only forum how to that I know of to point him towards before his setup self destructs.

 

[danb35]

Yeah, we probably need something on how to set up a VPN, except that a VPN is ideally done on the edge device (i.e., the router), and thus doesn't have much to do with FreeNAS at all. It's trivial with pfSense, of course, and some of the better consumer-grade routers have VPN support as well. Though this thread might do the business.
