Version 1.5.5: OpenVPN

Post by Eric »

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

Thanks, works fine so far, on the TL-WR1043ND.

One issue, though.. as soon as my Download QoS list goes over ~25, it starts to lose data..

For example, I just added a few rules, and the list reset from ~25 to 9 entries.

Is anyone else having such issues?

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.

You may try to add

Code: Select all

option 'country' 'RO'
or

Code: Select all

option 'country' 'RZ'
in file etc\config\wireless like this:

Code: Select all

config 'wifi-device' 'radio0'
	option 'country' 'RO'

it may help. Or use regulatory.bin file from old version.

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.
