Hi,
Newbie questions
I'd like to know if the described hardware works fine with the latest Community version of ClearOS.
The server will be deployed in a work place with around 25 employees. I need torrenting and YouTube streaming to be blocked for certain IPs.
Will the free Application Filter work its magic?
Thanks in advance.

The G10 Microserver can be bought directly from HP with ClearOS pre-installed. If HP didn't think it man-enough for the job they wouldn't sell it, so yes, it can run Community or Business and 25 users is not onerous. I have a G10 as a test box and have not had any issues with it yet.
Not so sure about the application filter. Youtube is covered by it but it is all or nothing. For torrenting you want the protocol filter, but is is not working too well with Bittorrent and is hopefully going to get an update this summer. I believe both apps use the same underlying engine which needs the update.
Both apps are all or nothing but use the mangle table in the firewall so it should be possible to craft custom firewall rules to bypass the filtering for some IP's. I've never tried.
