As of version 1.5.5, OpenVPN is now supported in Gargoyle. This has been the most-requested feature in the feature requests forum for some time. You will need an atheros ar71xx based router with at least 8MB of flash and 32MB of memory (e.g. TP-Link 1043ND, Netgear WNDR3700v1-2/3800, Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH etc.), for this feature to work.
In order to simplify configuration Gargoyle can only be configred as an OpenVPN Server or an OpenVPN Client. Multiple server/client configurations are not permitted. Also, only routed (tun) configurations are currently allowed.
New in 1.5.5:
OpenVPN GUI for routers with 8MB+ flash and 32MB+ memory
Fixes several major bugs that can prevent Tor from starting when router is rebooted
Improved UPNP GUI in port forwarding section
Several performance improvements/tweaks for QoS were added
Fixes bug in code for starting Tor on a per-IP basis
A bug in code for forcing use of router DNS servers was corrected
Downloading of bandwidth csv file should now work correctly
Moved from using old 3rd party NTP time synchronization utility to busybox NTP utility
Fixes a bug that can prevent write access to shared CIFS drives
Add dynamic dns provider joker.com
Fixes a bug in usb disk formatting code when volume numbers are non-sequential
Fixes a bug preventing more than one MAC address from being blocked under the Static IP section of the DHCP screen
Flashed on TL-WR740N - Despite my changes, "Time" settings page keeps showing incorrect time, and "NTP Servers:" resets to "Custom".
In version 1.5.4 function "mac80211Channels["G"]" was returning [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
and now it returns [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
so now i cant use 3 chanels i was using.
This is due to the use of a new "regulatory.bin" file. Its necessary to give users an opportunity to choose their country from the web interface, or use an older version of the "regulatory.bin" file.

Thank you for the fixes and especially OpenVPN in 1.5.5! I will try it now. Will the OpenVPN eventually get a tap interface option? I really need to use tap but I am glad to see OpenVPN coming to Gargoyle.
I'm also having the time issue as described above. WNDR3700V1. And I've noticed my speedtest with this release and the last release went down from around 30 Mbps to 15 while using wireless. Wired is fine.
