Basic The Connection/Basic controls aren't “Basic” in the sense that they are simple, but rather that these settings control the most fundamental network configuration of the router and other more specialized Gargoyle features depend on these settings. For this reason, it is best to configure these options first and only change them when absolutely necessary.

OpenVPN Introduction VPN A virtual private network (VPN) is a private network that connects remote (and often geographically separate) networks through primarily public communication infrastructures such as the Internet. VPNs provide security through tunnelling protocols and security procedures such as encryption. For example, a VPN could be used to securely connect the branch offices of an organisation to a head office network through the public Internet.

I do not know how to write such a guide so instead I will write about how QoS operates in the hopes that armed with a little knowledge you will be successful in what you want to accomplish. There is a lot written here because unfortunately the subject is rather complex and full of nuances so it’s what’s required in my view.

Quotas Bandwidth quotas are a powerful feature unique to gargoyle that allow you to set a maximum on the total amount of data transferred over your network, or to a specific set of IP addresses on your local network, or both. When the quota is reached, you can specify whether you want to completely cut off internet access, or whether you want to throttle the connection to a slow speed.

Access Restrictions Access Restriction up until 1.10.0 only blocked http Traffic. Version 1.11.0 and above now blocks http and https (encrypted) traffic. This is achieved by leveraging the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension of the TLS1.2 standard in HTTPS authentication. The host name (e.g. example.com) is served in the clear in the packet so that the server knows which certificate to send back to the client. The path (e.g. /foo.html) is only sent once the transmission is fully encrypted.…
