Gargoyle Forum

Firstly, thanks to all who contribute to Gargoyle. Simply wonderful!

Now, I've allocated Quotas to all known MACs on my network. I have also assigned a small Quota to 'All Others', in case of visitors etc. This also helps me assess whether there are any devices using bandwidth that I haven't specificlally allocated a Quota to.

But I note in this guide http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/dok ... ring_setup that it is suggested "We need to block all internet access all PC's except ones with quotas".

Is that a mandotory step to ensure Quotas work correctly, or is my config described above quite OK for that situation?

I'm going to suggest "no" but people could bypass their data limits

Thanks ispyisail.

I also notice now that since the above guide was written that a DHCP/Static config option has been added to "Block MACs that have a static IP assigned from connecting using another IP". I have enabled that feature and I would say that it is effectively taking care of the firewall config suggested in the guide.
