Gargoyle as proxy not gateway

[ozphobia]

Hi All,

I already have a managed firewall on my edge that does security and QoS.

What I would like to do is use Gargoyle inside the network to do quota management.

The router is at 10.0.0.254 and the Gargoyle device is at 10.0.0.253 on an Ethernet port with the WAN disabled.

Now when I change my default gateway to 10.0.0.253, it appears that traffic is hitting Gargoyle, but it seems that without having the traffic pass through from LAN to WAN, quotas don't work.

In the traffic usage the graph show Gargoyle, not the actual device.

Obviously I could enable the WAN and just set a different subnet between the gateway and Gargoyle, but the firewall I have also does device management and IPS on my internal hosts.

Has anyone tried this or know if this can/can't be achieved?

Thanks in advance.
John

You nailed it. It has to pass through WAN to LAN (i.e. Through the firewall) to have any of Gargoyles features work.
