Gargoyle 1.15.x OpenWrt 24.10 EXPERIMENTAL BETA - 2025-07-02

[Lantis]

Gargoyle 1.15.x based on OpenWrt 24.10 is an EXPERIMENTAL BETA switching Gargoyle to the latest stable release from OpenWrt. This also includes the previous beta changes switching from iptables to nftables (firewall3 to firewall4).

While I do not recommend keeping settings between OpenWrt 23.05 and 24.10 based versions of 1.15.x, in theory they are compatible for most devices. Proceed with caution.

Configs should generally not be preserved between 1.14 (and earlier) and 1.15.x. Do so at your own risk.

Please provide your feedback (positive or negative). If you do think you've found a problem it would be incredibly helpful if you also verified that the problem did not exist on the 23.05 based 1.15.x builds. I'm happy to fix bugs that also existed there, but will be focusing on regressions first.

"BETA - 2025-07-02" Notable changes:
- Switched Gargoyle to OpenWrt 24.10
- Switched OpenVPN to version 2.6
- Switched mbedtls-clu to 1.1.0dev
- Bulk updated many packages


Known Issues
- Samba shares utilising ksmbd will not work if "Same folder on all disks" option is selected
- Connected wifi clients are not visible in GUI
- Scanning for wifi networks to connect to does not work

The plugin repositories are also found in the same location.

Did a new build based on the latest commit (5575828) and no real issues so far after 24+ hrs. Runs the same as the first 24.10 and the latest 23.05. Still getting the IPv6 errors when saving though.

Thanks

Hi Lantis,
Meet an issue after using this firmware on my WRT3200ACM. Please take a look. Thanks.

I’ll look at silencing the IPv6 error, it is however harmless.

The ssh error is likely a local issue, assuming that you are using password login and not ssh keys. You need to check your ssh client has appropriate ciphers available. PuTTY (latest) has no issues, for your reference.

I will look at the wifi client list thanks.

Indeed. Issue is resolved since PuTTY is upgraded. Thanks.

Thanks Lantis. I'm used to check Connected Wireless Hosts for the band steering functionality. Any other means to achieve same?

No worries. You mentioned they were harmless when I first reported it and, as you said, they cause no issues at all. I just figured you'd want to know.

Cheers

The wifi client list is fixed by this patch. It also fixes scanning for networks to connect to.
