Re: Questions about firewall config (and a quick one about W

For Security - you're going to have to setup a lot of that stuff via the command line (putty ssh into the router and configure this)... Bummer! This should be a key feature request.

Re: Gargoyle Router in Comparison to Commercial

There is not a solid firewall set, like those rules to block atacks ... ...enable/disable switches for things like SPI, DoS, UDP Flood, TCP-SYN Flood, and Ignore Ping from WAN...
