Hey there,
I have a FreeNAS machine which I am using to share files within my network (only for this purpose). I am quite happy with my configuration and, as I've read many times in this forum, it is advisable to keep the machine running 24/7 in order to maintain the integrity of the system and the hard disks.
I dont intend to access my FreeNAS server from outside my network (remotely) and, therefore, I will only access the machine when Im home from the devices connected to the network.
According to FreeNAS documentation, if i dont set a gateway, every traffic from outside my network is blocked.
Thus, considering that I only want to access my FreeNAS from inside my network and nothing else, if i leave my "global configuration" section empty for IPv4 and "IPv6 Default gateway", does that mean that im blocking every traffic from the internet? By blocking all traffic from the internet, am I am reasonably protected against intrusions/attacks?
Thanks so much for all the answers
