Hi guys
In the past two weeks I've set up my first running freenas server and it's quite awesome. So much, that new ideas with what I could do with it popped into my mind. I'm particularly interested in replacing all my dropbox and skydrive services with the owncloud plugin and have complete control over my own data. This would however require that the owncloud jail can be accessed from outside my home and now I'm wondering about security issues. My freenas isn't reachable from WAN at all (no port forwarding in router) since I'm paranoid and want my server to be safe from the big bad world. I see two ways now how I can access my owncloud from outside my home:
I've searched the forums here but didn't find a single related thread. Hope you folks don't mind if this is a silly question. Thanks in advance.

I see two ways now how I can access my owncloud from outside my home:
- Install a VPN endpoint in my LAN and connect through that with my freenas server.
- Forward the necessary ports to the jail's IP address only and therefore run it as a normal webserver.
