2012-02-18T13:31:41+00:00

Introduction Gargoyle supports PPPoE connections over ADSL links. ADSL links use phone lines as there physical connection to the internet. The phone line requires special modem equipment on both ends and filters to allow the line to be simultaneously used as a phone connection. Gargoyle does not support PPPoA connections directly.

asus_wl500g_premium

2012-02-18T22:43:41+00:00

Introduction The Asus WL500G Premium is another router that uses a broadcom wireless chip and is very much like the LinksysWRT54G* routers. You will want to use the generic .trx image for this router. The best way to upload it is using the upgrade utility for Windows that ships with the router. Unfortunately, the upgrade utility on the web interface that ships with this router is incompatible with existing third-party firmware.

d-link_dir-300

2012-02-11T09:34:08+00:00

I recently bought a cheap D-Link DIR300 router from Ebay with stock firmware, and decided to install the Gargoyle firmware. However, the installation guide provided here did not work for me. The problem was that I was indeed able to install the new bootloader and DD-WRT, but after restarting the router in order to install the Gargoyle firmware then the bootloader loaded but DD-WRT did not, thus I was unable to use the Fon Flash. Then I found an installation guide for OpenWrt (

Airlink101 AR430W The D-link/Airlink is very similar to the La Fonera but only has 4MB of flash memory, it uses an atheros wireless device, and second you must access the RedBoot bootloader to install OpenWrt/Gargoyle. It is impossiable to install Gargoyle on a factory default DIR-300, so be warned that it is not as straightforward as with the other routers.

developer_documentation

2012-05-04T19:06:45+00:00

Implementation Overview The basic idea behind the implementation of Gargoyle is to do as much of the computation on the client side as possible. The router typically has a 200mhz processor, 32MB or less of RAM and 8MB or less of disk (flash drive) space. The clients connecting will typically have multi-GHz processors and over 512 MB of RAM. Even without considering delay introduced by the network connection, which do you think is going to be faster? Therefore, the majority of Gargoyle is implem…

la_fonera

2012-02-18T22:43:02+00:00

Introduction The La Fonera is somewhat different than the other devices listed here. First, it uses an atheros wireless device, and second you must access the RedBoot bootloader to install OpenWrt/Gargoyle. It can be somewhat tricky to install Gargoyle on a factory default La Fonera, so be warned that it is not as straightforward as with the other routers.

linksys_wrt54g-tm

2012-02-11T09:32:44+00:00

Linksys WRT54G-TM This router was only produced briefly by Linksys but is compatible with Gargoyle because it has 8 Megs of RAM and 32 Megs of flash giving you plenty of room to do cool stuff. The ”-TM” part of the name refers to T-Mobile functionality that Linksys supports in their stock firmware. This functionality will be lost if you install Gargoyle so if you have a T-Mobile phone and use this function you have to decide what you want to do. Flashing of this router requires a special s…

linksys_wrt54gl

2012-02-11T10:43:24+00:00

---------- The Linksys WRT54G* routers were the first routers to work with 3rd Party firmware. However, be aware that newer WRT54G routers do NOT work with OpenWrt or Gargoyle -- they have only 2.0MB of Flash, unlike their predecessors which had 4.0MB which is sufficient. If you want to use a Linksys WRT54G* router with Gargoyle, hunt down one of the old WRT54G units, v1-4 or obtain a Linksys WRT54GL or WRTSL54GS.

other_routers

2012-02-18T22:52:08+00:00

Introduction These are the only routers Gargoyle has been tested/validated on. However, there are likely many others that will work. My budget for routers is rather limited so I haven't been able to acquire other models to test on (yet). PLEASE report successes/failures in the forum so that everyone can get a better idea of what works and what needs work.

qos

2012-02-26T23:41:47+00:00

Introduction This is not a step by step guide on how to configure your QoS. I do not know how to write such a guide so instead I will write about how QoS operates in the hopes that armed with a little knowledge you will be successful in what you want to accomplish. There is a lot written here because unfortunately the subject is rather complex and full of nuances so it’s what’s required in my view.

remote_syslog

2012-02-11T09:40:09+00:00

Introduction Setting up up syslog remote logging server is good for fault finding. When logging connect your gargoyle router to the logging server with an Ethernet cable for more reliable results Client Setup your gargoyle router as a syslog client by making a SSH connection to the router and then run the following commands.

The screenshots below show Gargoyle at a glance. Some of the more complex sections are displayed more than once because either they do not fit in one screenshot (you have to scroll to access some functionality) and/or multiple configurations are shown. Some of the simpler, more trivial sections are omitted. Also note that these screenshots only show the QoS upload section, as the QoS download section is almost identical but applies to traffic going in the other direction.

Installing Gargoyle As A Set Of Packages Note: Gargoyle is now based on Backfire and theoretically installing as a set of packages should work, but these instructions are likely out of date and may no longer work. Introduction Finally, if you have OpenWrt Kamikaze installed, it's very straightforward to install Gargoyle as a set of packages.

single_ethernet_setup

2012-02-23T19:27:50+00:00

Introduction Some wireless routers such as the MR3201A and the original La Fonera 2200 have only one ethernet port. This guide is meant to help users configure a router like this. Initial Configuration When you first install Gargoyle firmware, wireless connectivity is disabled for security reasons. Therefore you will need to connect the router to your computer via an ethernet cable:

Installed & Tested Routers. Introduction There are a lot of routers out there and manufacturers are always changing their product lines so it is not possible to provide an exhaustive list of routers that Gargoyle will run on.

swap_file

2012-02-11T18:08:42+00:00

Introduction There are some applications and network situations that may require the need for more RAM, like DLNA file indexing, Tor or disk checks. There are a couple of options of upgrading RAM, via soldering or using a SWAP partition on a USB thumb drive. This how-to describes installing SWAP on a USB thumb drive. This method is a bit slower but also more convenient. Your router will need a USB port like the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v1-1.8

Question I would like to know if there a way to block access to Facebook and Myspace as well as instant messaging. I tried to block myspace.com before and it only blocked it that one way leaving countless other ways to access it. Same with Facebook. Others like meebo.com and koolim.com are much of a pest as well.

tor

2012-02-09T07:21:10+00:00

Introduction Tor with Gargoyle provides plug and play anonymous access to the internet. Routers running Gargoyle 1.5.1 and above with a USB port have support Tor. It can be run on a router with 32MB of memory only if SWAP is enabled, but 64MB is recommended.

Introduction The TP-Link TL-WR1043ND is becoming a very popular Gargoyle router due price and hardware feature set. There are many ways of flashing this device but the easiest method is using “Firmware upgrade” tool.

upgrade_config

2012-02-11T08:53:11+00:00

Question Is there any reason why it is not possible for Gargoyle to remember its configuration after an upgrade? It is possible on almost all firmware (including openwrt). This would make the upgrade process so much more pleasant.

If you're trying to compile FonFlash for Windows... I pity you. You need to install both wxWidgets and WinPcap. Because I'm a lazy bum, the vcproj file has the locations of these on MY system, but probably not on yours. You'll have to adjust them for the locations you installed wxWidgets/WpdPack. For reference on my system wxWidgets is in c:\wxWidgets-2.8.9 and WpdPack is in C:\WpdPack. Have fun and good luck compiling. You'll need it.
