Gargoyle 1.15.x OpenWrt 24.10 - 2026-03-23

[Lantis]

That sounds like your wan6 (or wan_6?) interface is going down.
Again should not be caused by any change in the bandwidth monitor fix. Let me know what you find.

[fiye68]

Thanks a lot for the continuing support Lantis, especially saving older routers from the landfill!

In a wndr3800, the latest build https://lantisproject.com/downloads/gar ... DIyNCJdXX0 was installed and it works great as always!

A minor problem is that it does not have enough space left for installing plugins.

Would it be possible to please change the wndr3800 ath79 profile to gargoyle-vpn so that it leaves enough free space, similar to OpenWrt where 24.10 image is 6.4MB instead of 11.4MB?

Using https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/targets/ath79 and other references to verify flash size of 16MB, a patch was made for all other ath79 devices with the same flash size, if it would be beneficial now or in the future as kernel, modules and libraries take more space.

A minor problem is that it does not have enough space left for installing plugins.

You can use a USB flash drive to create an extroot configuration which would give you the space. Out of curiousity which plugins are you unable to install?

Would it be possible to please change the wndr3800 ath79 profile to gargoyle-vpn so that it leaves enough free space, similar to OpenWrt where 24.10 image is 6.4MB instead of 11.4MB?

Changing the device to use the VPN profile would lose USB support; if any change were to be made it should be to just the USB profile. All the devices you propose changing have USB ports that would become unusable.

Gargoyle basic profile images are never as small as default OpenWrt images in any case, let alone higher functionality profiles.

They're dependencies of the minidlna plugin.

[Lantis]

A new version (2026-03-23) has been posted.
It fixes PPPoE issues that have been discussed in this thread (uptime display and bandwidth monitor).
It should also fix the bandwidth monitor losing data on connections which are short-lived. Feedback on this item in particular is appreciated.
A few other fixes as well.

[j6mm]

Thank you, Lantis! I can confirm WAN DHCP renew no longer causes bwmon data loss.

[fiye68]

Thank you again Lantis for the newest build and pythonic for all the work you put into gargoyle.

You can use a USB flash drive to create an extroot configuration which would give you the space. Out of curiousity which plugins are you unable to install?

Thanks for the pointer to extroot, it is a solution but it adds another point of failure besides the power supply and it would be best to avoid it if possible.

This wndr3800 is used for openvpn, wireguard and occasionally as tor gateway toggled by each host so it is the tor plugin that is too large for the latest release.

Changing the device to use the VPN profile would lose USB support; if any change were to be made it should be to just the USB profile. All the devices you propose changing have USB ports that would become unusable.

Gargoyle basic profile images are never as small as default OpenWrt images in any case, let alone higher functionality profiles.

Thank you for correcting me on the profiles, I was under the assumption that each one included the previous and that they were somewhat consecutive in size but I see now that they are independent https://github.com/ericpaulbishop/gargo ... s/Makefile

Maybe plugin-gargoyle-minidlna or other less used could be removed from GARGOYLE_PKGS_LARGE so that there is more free space and the user can install it if needed.

I understand that Gargoyle adds functionality but for example wndr3700 https://lantisproject.com/storage/gargo ... pgrade.bin 7.4 MB https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/ ... pgrade.bin 6.5 MB

and wndr3800 https://lantisproject.com/storage/gargo ... pgrade.bin 11.4 MB https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/ ... pgrade.bin 6.5 MB.

They're dependencies of the minidlna plugin.

Thanks again, I tried to remove it on a fresh install to regain space but

Code: Select all

root@Gargoyle:~# opkg remove minidlna
ERROR: Installed package plugin-gargoyle-minidlna depends on minidlna, can't uninstall

root@Gargoyle:~# opkg remove plugin-gargoyle-minidlna
ERROR: Installed package gargoyle-large depends on plugin-gargoyle-minidlna, can't uninstall

Could I somehow force removal or maybe just remove the files?

You can’t remove it on a live system anyway due to the way overlayFS works. You’ll burn more space and not gain any back.

I would recommend for your use case either a custom compile where you can include what you want, or using a USB for plugin installation (and/or extroot).

I will look at what a default package set might look like in the future, it is always difficult to balance everyone’s needs, especially as space gets tighter.
There’s not much we can get rid of without having to get rid of the profile concept entirely and just ship empty images and everything becomes a plugin install. That’s not a good thing either (in my opinion).

A new version (2026-03-23) has been posted.
It fixes PPPoE issues that have been discussed in this thread (uptime display and bandwidth monitor).
It should also fix the bandwidth monitor losing data on connections which are short-lived. Feedback on this item in particular is appreciated.
A few other fixes as well.

Installed the version over 1.15.x_20250331 preserving settings on my GL-MT6000 a half an hour ago (yes, I know about preserving settings stuff...).
All issues that I had with previous build (mentioned here: viewtopic.php?p=67633#p67633) are gone and I was not able to notice anything wrong yet.

So all good for now.
I will monitor it and let you know if anything wrong found.

Thanks a lot.

Good feedback so far, and let me reiterate my thanks and appreciation for all of the feedback and troubleshooting to date to get us to this position too. Having people willing to try stuff and answer questions makes this stuff much easier to figure out.

Thanks for all your hard work, I cannot start to imagine the amount of effort and time you put into this.

Also thank you for the explanation and suggestions. Since I am not familiar with custom builds and I would like to avoid the extra usb requirement, could you please consider at least changing only the wndr3800 profile to gargoyle-vpn for the next build so that I can test and report back if it is viable?
