I have a headless FreeBSD server at home serving as NAS, http server, proxy, vpn server, etc. Due to the way network infrastructure is organized the server is located in an easily accessible place (actually outside my apartment) and I am afraid it might be stolen. It's a cheap old PC, so I am mostly worried about data stored on it. What is the most convenient way of securing this data (besides moving the machine :)? Encrypting the whole disk? How would I provide the password? I am not a geek, so I would prefer a how-to or an easier solution than a lightweight sshd on /boot about which I read on the web. Maybe encrypting /home is enough? How to move current installation to the secured environment? -- skx
