Most router ROMs are developed in the same haphazard fashion as phone ROMs on xda-developers. Only a few like OpenWRT are actually run like a desktop Linux distro, with a well-defined and managed release process and stable branches.
- chasil 5y agoGargoyle is based on OpenWRT, but has extensive options for bandwidth control of individual devices/MACs, plus the ability to force everything to use Tor. I don't know how UDP would work over that routing, and if QUIC would work (at all). I imagine that this can be done with OpenWRT, but many plugins and custom configuration would be required to achieve equivalent functionality.
- wtallis 5y agoLast time I checked, Gargoyle's QoS system consisted almost entirely of obsolete 1990s-style manual classification and prioritization. The only interesting capability it offered was a feature to try to estimate the actual bandwidth you were getting from your ISP in realtime, to tune the overall bandwidth limits of the QoS system. Unless it's been overhauled to incorporate the lessons of CoDel, fq_codel, CAKE and modern active queue management in general, the QoS portions of Gargoyle can be ignored as a time-wasting anachronism. You'll be better off with vanilla OpenWRT and its SQM package.
- chasil 5y agoThanks for the sage advice. I have some homework to do.
