what firewall to use

[nas4all]

I´m thinking of starting freeNAS setup, but i realiced that it DON´T have firewall. I have totally open and public port waiting me..

Is there some easy way to protect freeNAS?

What firewall you use and prefer?

Moving to offtopic.. this isn't a question directly related to FreeNAS.

Do you have a router?

I personally use Sophos (Formerly Astaro) They allow home users to have up to 50 devices connected to it. It is a true enterprise class firewall.

I am a home user, but do a lot of virtualization and testing in VM hypervisors. I ran out of 50 IP addresses very quickly with all the devices in my house + my VMs. I got around this by turning my Astaro/Sophos into a transparent bridge firewall/filter and use ZeroShell on the outer edge of my network for routing. ;)

PS. I have tried all the router/UTM/Firewall distros and have found that none of them can come close to what Astaro/Sophos provides...its quite remarkable.

As a comparison for value of the home license, a 50 IP address license with fewer features enabled might cost an organization $1600 US annually.

Yes i have adsl box, but connection is forced to be totally public, open ip, bridged.. You know, no NAT.

Can i install firewall to FreeNAS, like what was that they use with WHM/cPanel.. umm, CSF?

I don't understand. You have several public IP addresses?
Use a router and then you are NAT'd
