Firewall FreeNAS

[Sprudel]

Hi,

My question is:

I want set up an FreeNAS-server on a old computer just to use for home.
Is there a Firewall included with FreeNAS ?

2nd question:

When i've installed FreeNAS on a computer, can i also install linux of windows on that computer ?

Many thanks

And how do i install a firewall ?

You can't. The expectation is that you will use a different device to act as your firewall.

You don't. You should be using a hardware firewall. If you have a router on your LAN, it likely already has a hardware firewall installed on it anyways. Depending on what router your are running there are also various alternative firmwares out there that work on certain router models that have more robust firewalls as well.

Someone with much more knowledge than me already answer.
Freenas is not designed to do that, but many other more interesting things...read CJ guide and stickies!
