Gargoyle Forum

Hello

I am using Wdr4300 Tplink and when I try to open the Tor page in the router it automatically send me back to the first page.

My Gargoyle version Is 1.5.11.

In the version 1.5.10 when I opened the Tor page I could see the settings.

Tor support was removed from the base image of all routers with less than 16MB of flash storage space because it takes up a huge chunk of available storage. The WDR4300 only has 8MB of flash space.

However, that model does have a USB port, and you can add a usb drive and install the Tor plugin to that drive. This should solve your problem.

Thank you Eric

Where can i found some documentation on how to enable usb install and how to install to usb?

Thank you.


P.S. Usb drive must be formatted in ext2/3 ?

Hello Eric

I managed to use a 2GB Flashdrive to the USB1 port and formatted it via webinterface giving 75% as Drive Space in Ext4 and 25% as Swap.

Now i was able to install minidlna after selecting the new drive as location for installs.


What is the option Exroot file meaned for ? Can somebody explain please.

No one?

ExtRoot means that all data including the OS and basic configuration files are moved to the USB drive. With a mounted USB drive without ExtRoot you just have a supplementary drive where plugins and potentially media files can be stored, while when ExtRoot is enabled EVERYTHING is stored there. The danger/downside of using ExtRoot is that if you pull out the USB drive you lose all of your settings and data, not just your installed plugins.

Thank you Erico for your patience for explaining.

Reading your post i decided to leave as it is now.


The Swap partition created by default is 478Mb, seems a little big.

Do you suggest use another size or i just let it so?

Do we have a torrent client for Gargoyle?
