Hi, Is it possible to set up a dnsmasq in gargoyle? I looked elsewhere about preventing access to https facebook. Is SSH necessary to do this, or can it be done in the interface?

Hi, I was wondering if there were any new methods of blocking gmail, gmail talk etc with gargoyle. There is an option to restrict https traffic in system/router access however it is not individual as it affects all machines in the network. I have a WRT54TM that has 30MB of RAM. Half of it is free.

That is good for now

WOOHOO =)
