- Ajedi32 10y agoYou can set up email notifications to have your server email you when new updates are available. They come out semi-frequently; maybe monthly. You can install them from the web interface pretty easily; major updates usually require a reboot. By default I think the only way to access FreeNAS is through the web interface (which seems fairly secure, though I'm not really all that familiar with FreeNAS's codebase). No SSL by default, but you can set it up with self-signed certs almost trivially using FreeNAS's GUI. You can enable SSH access and other services manually, and those services come with their own set of security concerns you need to be aware of.
