I think it would be useful to add PPTP client to Gargoyle
And allow Web Interface configuration for PPTP client - with "Dual Access" - 2nd interface configured as Static/Dynamic IP.
This would match possibilities of latest TP-Link firmware (PPPoE/DualAccess, PPTP/DualAccess)
See recent "successful configuration" discussion on
OpenWrt forum
There were many questions of ixbt forum (
TP-Link WR1043ND,
DD-Wrt discussions) what kind of "alternative" firmware can be recommended.
And how to add PPTP support (for OpenWrt/Gargoyle), and "Dual Access" (VPN+Static IP) to OpenWrt, DD-Wrt.
Recommendations like
this are not really for beginners.
I finally wrote - upon request from people - How-To for
Gargoyle setup on WR841ND v5 (in Russian).
But setup of "PPPoE+Static IP" and "PPTP+Static IP" is not covered.
As there is no simple method to do it.
Here is also interesting info on
Netgear forum
One user reports there that following setup for "PPTP + Static IP" is working for him.
Code: Select all
config 'interface' 'wan'
option 'ifname' 'eth1'
option 'macaddr' '11:22:4d:07:10:CD'
option 'proto' 'static'
option 'ipaddr' '10.110.42.21'
option 'netmask' '255.255.255.192'
option 'dns' '10.110.0.5'
option 'gateway' '10.110.42.1'
option 'defaultroute' '0'
option 'peerdns' '1'
config 'interface' 'vpn'
option 'ifname' 'ppp0'
option 'proto' 'pptp'
option 'ipproto' 'static'
option username USERRR
option password PASSS
option 'server' 'vpn.corbina.net'
option 'mtu' '1460'
option 'defaultroute' '1'
option 'keepalive' '10'
option 'buffering' '0'
I hope someone using Gargoyle/OpenWrt can share his experience for similar setups here or on forum.
And we can add standard configuration form in WebUI for such usage scenarios, for the next release of Gargoyle.
