Try using an NVME (not that I have one. It won't show. Create a bind mount to a top level folder. It will work but you can't undo it (because linux treats it as a full mount even though it was mounted with a bind parameter). Any partition used with LVM shows 100% full (because the LVM takes all the space, but it is not a true file system state) etc.

The Storage Manager is full of bugs .......

It probably didn't like multiple flags. You could perhaps try "-p tcp --tcp-flags ACK --tcp-flags ! --syn". I guess I was trying to exclude the SYN-ACK.

I have no expertise in the QoS detailed set up. I can file a bug for you, but don't expect anything soon.

What is the downloader you are using, so I can add it to the bug report

I promise you that you don't want the thread in the reversed order. The implementation on this software is rubbish and for longer threads this stops you from jumping to the bottom. You'll be able to jump down a number of posts (20?) then have to hit a more button then jump again etc. Also if you hit the link in a notification e-mail, it just takes you to the "more" stage. Tis settnig is the best of a bad job.

It does not "defeat GM". It just leaves them on the default profile. If you make it fairly restrictive (No internet is draconian, but you can also do "Allow only the Good" and restrict what is allowed), they will soon switch it off for that WiFi connection. When I've seen the option it has been at the Available Networks (SSID) level.

I would love to hear something too. All I can do is ask again.

What are you referring to?

Confused. You can block through the webconfig as I mentioned. It is just that it is more efficient to use ipset for blocking and in the past I have done some very aggressive blocking so had big lists.

AFAIK GM does not do IP blocking as it is a DNS product. It will, however, do DNS blocking in a way that the firewall can't.

Please also remember that ClearOS is a jack-of-all-trades solution. It is not specifically a firewall, so some firewall features you may want are not covered by the webconfig. OTOH, ClearOS can easily be configured as mail server, web server, torrent client, file server and so on which dedicated firewall solutions cannot do.

I was going to reply that it is multicast.

There is a big forum thread with geo-blocking (I think search country block), but it is a manual set up.

You can block individual IP's in the Egress Firewall, but personally I set up an ipset list and use my own file in /etc/clearos/firewall.d (/etc/clearos/firewall.d/95-custom_blocks):

In theory, yes. Have a look at https://documentation.clearos.com/content:en_us:kb_o_clearbox_as_a_transparent_inline_bridge, but I've never tried it. I know GM/DNSThingy has been designed to work in this mode.
