Gargoyle's BWmon in native OpenWrt?
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2024 11:37 am
I've been using Gargoyle for over a decade now. It still has the best bandwidth monitoring of any router I've used -- including Ubiquiti USG & ER-X, ASUS RT86, pfSense, OPNsense, etc. However, I've come to the point where I need more advanced networking controls that aren't available in the Gargoyle UI; to name a few:
1. Independent MAC filtering on multiple WiFi networks
2. Port forwarding from specific source IP/subnet
My plan is to switch to OpenWrt + LuCI as the more advanced networking options are available. I've experimented with several of the bandwidth monitoring tools available to LuCI, and so far, they all pale in comparison to Gargoyle's offering. That said, how "hard" would it be to create the fantastic bandwidth monitoring of Gargoyle as a plugin/package to native OpenWrt?
Thank you.
