Hi everyone,

I've got a couple of questions relating to replicating to another freenas server over the internet.
I'm setting up a server at the office as a file server for us and I'm looking to set up replication to my home server over the internet. I've been reading about using OpenVPN vs SSH and it seems like the consensus is with SSH as it has higher transfer speeds and good security.
In the replication wizard, there is the option to turn on SSH Transfer Security, is that secure enough to prevent anyone from accessing the connection or the data? Or would people recommend using an SSH tunnel?
If it's the latter, what's the best way to set that up for replication?

Apologies if these are noob questions!
Love FreeNAS though, been using it for 4 years now!
