Hi all,
I've been a long time user of Freenas, but a huge newbie. Normally my freenas usage is that of a NAS, however recently I started using it to do other things. One of my new adventures is hosting an online gaming server, online sim racing. However, because Freenas is based on FreeBSD, steamcmd won't run easily in a jail. As a result, I spun up my first virtual machine. It was relatively easy to do, and I got all the game server stuff running. Part of enabling public access to the server requires I forward 3 different ports.
Is this a big no no?

- For remote administration of the gaming service
- For API call access to the server, allows a return of what map, server settings etc etc
- For actual game connection to the server
Is this a big no no?
