Gargoyle 1.15.x BETA - 2024-10-14 - Based on OpenWrt 23.05

[Lantis]

Gargoyle 1.15.x is based on OpenWrt 23.05, which is a significant leap forward from 22.03 for 1.14.x.
This is the first "stable beta" (if there is such a thing) which includes all images generated, and a few new targets/profiles.

Configs should generally not be preserved between 1.14 (and earlier) and 1.15.x. Do so at your own risk.

Please provide your feedback (positive or negative).

A big thanks to pythonic (Github: aimacintyre) for their assistance and many contributions towards getting this into a position to make it ready for testing.

"BETA - 2024-05-20" Notable changes since 2024-03-11:
- Initial fixes for i18n-scripts during build
- ramips: Disabled TP-Link MR200
- Added UPnP IPv6 "Pinholes" to the GUI
- mediatek: New devices Netgear WAX206, WAX220, Asus RT-AX59U

"BETA - 2024-03-11" Notable changes:
- Update from OpenWrt 22.03 -> 23.05
- Latest security updates
- ntfs3 has been switched to the in-kernel version
- Target "atheros" (ath25) has been removed. This has been marked as "source-only" upstream
- Switch from OpenSSL to MbedTLS for all default packages. This will save a heap of space on all devices. Some optional plugins still require it which may require external storage to fit
- Spectrum Analyser plugin minimal version has been dropped. The space savings were not worth the additional maintenance effort
- libmatrixssl package has been dropped
- OpenVPN (and EasyRSA) updated to support OpenSSL 3.x
- OpenVPN BF-CBC cipher has been removed (deprecated)
- New package MbedTLS Command Line Utility (mbedtls-clu). This is a brand new package designed to replicate (some of) the features of the OpenSSL Utility (openssl). It is smaller and relies on MbedTLS instead of OpenSSL so again, saves a bunch of space
- OpenVPN EasyRSA modified to work with mbedtls-clu
- Tor plugin dropped by default from all profiles. It is still available as a plugin.
- New DDNS IP Lookup provider ip2location.io
- New GeoIP Lookup provider ip2location.io
- DDNS updated to support a "test domain" where the configured update domain may not match the domain needed to detect the IP correctly (e.g. CloudFlare)
- Show additional information in DDNS GUI to make it easier to see which provider is being used
- Update OpenVPN and Wireguard to support the "test domain" variable from DDNS
- Add support for OpenVPN plugin to advertise additional subnets behind the server (not just the LAN subnet). This can be useful if you have cascaded LANs or want to allow access upstream as well
- New plugin DNS over HTTPS
- Add WAN port speed on the Status Overview page
- Add new subtarget Mediatek Filogic which includes some very popular new devices e.g. GL.iNet Flint 2 (MT6000)
- mvebu devices are back! These were previously disabled due to an upstream issue which has now been resolved

Bugs squashed
- Quotas Others (Individual) not working
- Quotas bandwidth throttling using QoS not working in the upload direction
- Quotas bandwidth throttling not using QoS not working
- DDNS sometimes sending IPv6 updates to IPv4 providers (and vice versa)
- Some devices showing an empty temperature value on Status Overview
- Units (B, KB, MB, GB, TB etc) not selecting properly in some circumstances with language plugins other than English-EN
- Wireguard peer subnet routing not working in both directions
- Polish-PL plugin typo in Wireguard

Things to Note
- The "domain" setting has been switched from the default of ".lan" to ".home.arpa" in line with RFC 8375
- WiFi interfaces are no longer named "wlanX"
- Similarly a guest network is no longer "wlan0-1", it is now "wl0-sta0" and "wl0-ap0" for an Access Point configuration. This won't affect most users, but for anyone poking around be aware of this.
- mbedtls-clu is a brand new utility which has not received wider testing and scrutiny. If you note any issues or differences between it and openssl, please raise an issue

Known Issues
- If you have installed and enabled DNS over HTTPS plugin and then sysupgrade to an image without it (e.g. any image that you haven’t self compiled) you will have no DNS resolution until you manually fix your /etc/config/dhcp file

Note: OpenWrt 22.03 moved to nftables from iptables. Gargoyle still uses iptables to support the custom modules it needs, and so there is some package incompatibility with the base openwrt package repository. For normal operation this should not cause a problem. For anyone trying to install extra packages manually, your mileage may vary!

Hello all,

I installed gargoyle on GL-MT6000, INTERNET 1Gbps, in the speed test on the wire it does not exceed 500Mbps Download and Uploud 890Mbps, Connect Via:PPPOE ipv6 dual stack, that's all Gargoyle is capable of, there are some incompatibilities?
Disable Bandwidth Monitor, I reach up to 890/908 Mbps download and 880/923 upload

/etc/init.d/bwmon_gargoyle stop
/etc/init.d/bwmon_gargoyle disable

[ispyisail]

Thanks

I need to find some time to try this out

Disabling the bandwidth monitor improving performance suggests you are CPU limited - probably all interrupts are being serviced by 1 CPU and your problems are compounded by needing to use PPPoE (which uses non-trivial amounts of CPU at your WAN speeds). Yes this device has multiple cores (4 IIRC) but the Linux kernel doesn't automatically distribute all kernel work equally across all available CPUs

Are you using Gargoyle's QoS at all?

To investigate further, you will need to use tools like top (or better htop which I think might need to be installed from an OpenWrt 23.05 package) via ssh to see what is happening with CPU consumption. You also will likely need to use something like

Code: Select all

cat /proc/interrupts

before and after a speed test and calculate the difference between them to see where the heavy interrupt load is going.

nice. bunch of new devices. many cool GL.iNet devices too. btw is it complicated to add mifi devices support too? for example AR300M is already supported and XE300 is using the same platform. or those way more different? or it because mifi devices are just difficult to support? i'm just curious. i don't noticed any mifi devices which are supported by Gargoyle.

I suspect the lack of interest in supporting devices like the XE300 comes down to support for using the included modem - gl.Inet (and other manufacturers of like devices) fit a variety of modems (varies by market) to them and specific support for activating WAN access for each modem (including all the info sometimes required for 4G/5G network access) would be required. Some of the newer modems are PCIE-only cards rather than USB and can't be supported easily (though I think the Quectel modems used in many gl.Inet devices are USB capable).

Gargoyle supports hostless modems because these don't require specific controls (it's all built into the modem itself and it just appears as a USB ethernet interface).

That said, there's nothing stopping you building images with the devices selected (by modifying the relevent config & profile_images files of the respective target, or by doing a custom build) and seeing what you get...

Other than for hostless modems, I'd suggest that 4G/5G mobile network modem users are likely better served by the ROOter project albeit with a LUCI interface rather than Gargoyle's.

Are you using Gargoyle's QoS at all?

No!

In that case, using the flow offloading features supported by OpenWrt might help. I'm not sure that the following commands (which I've taken from OpenWrt documentation but haven't personally tested) will work, but you can try via ssh:

First, just software flow offloading:

Code: Select all

uci set firewall.@defaults[0].flow_offloading='1'
uci commit
ubus call network reload

If that helps, you can try adding hardware flow offloading:

Code: Select all

uci set firewall.@defaults[0].flow_offloading_hw='1'
uci commit
ubus call network reload

Note that hardware offloading requires that software offloading also be enabled. Unwind the changes if they don't help by repeating each command sequence above with the '1' replaced by '0'.

WARNING: hardware/software offloading are at least somewhat incompatible with some Gargoyle features!! If you try them and they cause problems, your only option is to disable them.

One other change you can try is enabling receive packet steering via ssh:

Code: Select all

uci set network.globals.packet_steering='1'
uci commit
ubus call network reload

If it doesn't help, you can reverse the change by repeating the command sequence above with the '1' replaced by '0'.
