I've tried googling and searching these forums to find a guide or something covering the basic necessities to get something like this to work, but due to my lack of experience in this subject, I'm a bit lost. Specifically regarding "over the internet" communications in general (SSH, VPNs, etc)
I see VPNs seem to be required. I don't understand what is necessary for VPNs to work with FreeNAS, whether the system has to be a client with a server that connects to the VPN service, or it's just a basic SSH setup (different posts have pointed me in different directions) pointed at an outside IP address/domain name (such as the VPN service).
Are there alternatives to a VPN if a VPN server is a requirement?
My current situation: I have two FreeNAS systems replicating over a LAN just fine. I want to move one and have it replicate over WAN securely (I have SSH set up already).
I'd like to avoid port forwarding, setting up a dedicated server for VPN clients to connect to locally, and anything else that pretty much makes this setup more complicated than it is currently (which isn't complicated, but still).
Any help is appreciated.
