Re: Gargoyle 1.15.x OpenWrt 24.10 - 2026-04-08
Posted: Sat May 23, 2026 4:25 am
Many thanks for the effort to compile this image!
I have just tried it but there is the following error
After that, I enabled Tor via the web interface, initially as toggled for each host and it throws errors, bootstraps to 50% and then kernel panic
The router reboot on its own and then I tried enabled for all hosts and the same behavior as above.
Before rebooting cpu was used up
I then tried the gargoyle-large image with usb stick as Tor Data Drive to free up ram but still it only bootstraps to 50% and cpu usage 100%.
To see if it is even possible any more to run tor on this router, I finally tried openwrt 24 with https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/tor/client and while tor works, there is constant cpu usage and little memory left so the router is unstable. It seems that tor or openssl3 have increased system requirements, maybe they need cpu hardware cryptograpic functions enabled so a newer router with a faster cpu and more than 128MB ram is needed.
If you have tested gargoyle tor on specific router models, please mention so that I can look into them.
Thanks again for all your continuous support.

It seems that tor or openssl3 have increased system requirements, maybe they need cpu hardware cryptograpic functions enabled so a newer router with a faster cpu and more than 128MB ram is needed.
If you have tested gargoyle tor on specific router models, please mention so that I can look into them.
Thanks again for all your continuous support.
