pfsense open vpn freenas

[SLIMaxPower]

This is my plan that I want to put in place.

I have a N54L + 16th ecc ram with 3 nics - 2 Intel and 1 on board ( would use the on board for bridged modem )

I want to use the N54L to encrypt my whole connection.

I want pfsense to control my home connection (adsl2+ via bridged modem) as well as other pfsense duties.

My cat5e home network consists of 7 wired pc's, 1 wired htpc, 2 Freenas servers - one with jails running sab, sick rage, own cloud etc...around 10 tablets/phones and a media player.


Is it possible to run my own vpn server to encrypt all traffic or do I have to pay for one ? I don't need a VPN to hide my address


Below is what my network would look like.

N54L ( freenas - pfsense + vpn jails)

(bridge mode as wireless node)

Short answer: Not just no, hell f*ck no.

Long answer: Read around and you'll understand why the technical reasons why you can't do that aren't easily resolved. Keep your firewall and VPN separate from your NAS.

The N54L is dedicated to firewall and vpn.
Nas is behind a switch

Nas is further down the

But for the N54L it has freenas, pfsense and vpn on the same line.

I'm confused. :(

my bad!

so just pfsense and road warrior setup ( is that what its called running my own vpn to encrpty all traffic ) on the N54L? ?

is that right.

 

[cyberjock]

No clue what road warrior is. Never heard of it.
