I just got done doing a little something that will be an extension of my FreeNAS.

So I came across something called Passman, it works a lot like LastPass but instead of someone else holding your data and securing it you can do it on your own server. I am using Nextcloud and Passman is something that is added on to that. Both are opensource and free. https://nextcloud.com/ https://github.com/nextcloud/passman-webextension

Now since I don't like doing things the "easy" way, I setup a Jail on my FreeNAS and then installed NGINX (the webserver, most use Apache but why take the easy road) PHP 7.1 (the dynamic page processor) and MariaDB (the database server). After a little fiddling with the database password (I think I had a typo) everything was up and running.

Not too shabby and now I can pretty much officially say I can host my own cloud service, password manager, netflix, webserver, and fileserver among other things.

1024 bit encryption on the password manager.

This is an initial setup so I don't have it forwarded to an external port. Right now and I will likely setup a reverse proxy if I forward from the outside since I will need to use a non standard port from home anyway which makes it that much harder to access and Cox already blocks inbound port 80 anyway.

As far as the IP, yep internal, nope can't hack it since it's not exposed. My router has SNORT on it anyway so after a scan you would be blocked before you can do harm. On top of that the source is probably scoured all the time since the projects are open and it doesn't take too awful long before the info is reported back to the coder and it is fixed.

The reason why I have the IP the way I do is I VPN into a few other FreeNAS systems and it's a lot easier to make a VPN work if things are different with the IP addresses. If you ever have the privilege to use a VPN that routes to a network that is 192.168.1.1 from a network that is 192.168.1.1 you will understand why. All the systems I have setup also use the same ending IP addresses for certain functions like Plex so I don't have to try and remember which one what was put on, they are the same so it's a lot easier to deal with.
