I am considering colocating a FreeNAS server I will purely use as an offsite backup server.
Since this server will be visible via public IP, I am concerned about keeping it secure.
Are there any published best practices to secure a server with this config?
For example, is an external firewall required? I prefer to not have that extra expense if there are other means of securing it.
If I use strong passwords, is the default FreeNAS config (9.3) secure? If not, are there particular steps one must take to lock it down?
I would need access only to web ui. Immediately that concerns me since I think that runs in http and not https.
I'll be using the built-in replication features for my remote backups.
Thank you.
