I also noticed another discrepancy.

Mistake, I'm sorry :oops: . Everyone is in a different place. You offer him ...gargoyle-1.12.0/ramips/usb_mt7620_kernelspecific and he has in the file ...gargoyle-1.12.0/ramips/default_kernelspecific

Each directory has its own .../Packages file with a different kernel version.

Right, that would definitely make a difference if it is wrong.

Would recommend changing the gargoyle respositories from "default" to the "usb_m76210" variety for both the regular one and the kernelspecific one. Then doing the whole refresh and try install again.

There may be an error causing the wrong repositories to be included by default that needs investigating if this solves it...

Hi guys,

that was it! I did as you suggested:

Code: Select all

src/gz gargoyle http://www.gargoyle-router.com/packages/gargoyle-1.12.0/ramips/usb_mt7620                                                                                      
src/gz gargoyle_kernel_specific http://www.gargoyle-router.com/packages/gargoyle-1.12.0/ramips/usb_mt7620_kernelspecific
Updated, could install! So far so good :)

Unfortunately, I do not get a connection (Client) when Tor is activated. Played around with a few settings but nothing. Do you have an idea?

If you asked for logs, could you tell me in which directory to find them as the log plugin has vanished. Thanks a lot!

gpkg install plugin-gargoyle-logread
or command via SSH (in PuTTY):

Kernel log:

QUICK FIXES
If Tor Browser doesn’t connect, there may be a simple solution. Try each of the following:

Your computer’s system clock must be set correctly, or Tor will not be able to connect.
Make sure another Tor Browser is not already running. If you’re not sure if Tor Browser is running, restart your computer.
Make sure that any antivirus program you have installed is not preventing Tor from running. You may need to consult the documentation for your antivirus software if you do not know how to do this.
Temporarily disable your firewall.
Delete Tor Browser and install it again. If updating, do not just overwrite your previous Tor Browser files; ensure they are fully deleted beforehand

Thanks for all the tips guys! I have figured it out: Tor did not start because of not enough memory. So I used a USB stick for swap and now it works! Amazing work, thanks so much!

As I am new to the Tor thing and have discovered Wireshark for myself: I can see that almost all traffic is TLS and TCP except two things.

A connection to my provider called ISAKMP and UDPENCAP for NAT-Keepalive and connections to the Gargoyle Routers when opening the GUI. Is that important or not? I thought that the moment something is leaking besides the Tor connection that is not so good. Backups via SFTP seem to find the way over the Tor network.

Thanks again for your relentless help!
