I think there may be a problem in the quota since they are based on IP rather than MAC. I was able to bypass the quota if I used windows built in bridge connection. So the computer connected to the gargoyle has a quota but the computer that's connect to host computer is able to bypass the quota.
Gargoyle --> computer (has quota) --> computer ( via windows bridge bypass quota)
So both computer share one MAC address but each has different IP assigned by gargoyle, thus the second computer can bypass the quota.
Also Block MAC addresses assigned a static IP that connect from a different IP has no effect in this case.
Using 1.3.13 and WZR-HP-G300NH.

Re: Bypass Quota using windows connection bridge
This isn't a bug so much as a technical limitation.
Download quotas CANNOT be set based on MAC addresses -- The quota module is in iptables, and the destination MAC isn't computed until the packet has exited the iptables system. Therefore download quotas cannot be set to MAC addresses, just IPs. It might be possible to implement a mac-caching system to address this, but it wouldn't be pretty and it isn't going to happen before the next stable release.
