Security on Gargoyle,

Post by oliver44 »

Hello,
I use the latest version of Gargoyle proposed by Lantis https://lantisproject.com/gargoyle_custom/1.13.x/, after the test on https://www.grc.com/shieldsup I noticed that Gargoyle does not pass the test, there would be some settings to pass this test?
I ask because on OpenWrt you can configure your firewall to pass this test!

Thx
wdr3600 rev1.4 OpenWrt
wrt1900ACS v.2 OpenWrt/DD-WRT
GL-MT6000 OpenWrt/Gargoyle

:idea: Probably this test cannot pass due to RFC-792 (RFC1122), which OpenWrt (Gargoyle) adheres to.

What exactly doesn't it pass?
If it's a closed vs "stealth" thing, I've never understood why that's a big deal. Either way, they still can't get in to your network.
If this really irks you, change it in the command line.

If you're worried about ping replies? Turn it off on the connection basic page.
