FreeNAS sounds like a good plan, but the main problem I have is that my wifi adapter needs a non-free firmware, and I don't know enough about BSD to find/instal compatible drivers. Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com), Swiss-based encrypted email. Original Message

I'll second that. FreeNAS or even NAS4Free is a great out of the box NAS solution. On Mon, Nov 20, 2017 at 6:01 PM, Herminio Hernandez, Jr. < herminio.hernande...@gmail.com> wrote: > If you are looking for a NAS solution, then I would recommend FreeNAS > highly. The web interface is easy to use,

Hi all, I'm sure this comes up every so often. I'm in the process of repurposing an older desktop machine I have lying around and turning it into a NAS. I would like to do as little system administration as possible once it is set up. I would like relatively recent packages too, but I do NOT

I just signed up for gigablast also. I also just order the Motorola 3.1 modem because my current one is 3.0. The bad thing is that it's not like the fiber gigablast. It's 1000Mb down and 35 up. Jason Regards, Jason From: "Snyder, Alexander J"

Good solution, my previous provider didn't block anything so it caught me off guard when I went to open that port. Cox residential blocks quite a few ports it turns out. On Nov 19, 2017 8:20 PM, "Stephen Partington" wrote: > Google Domains will do a pure redirect of all
