#News Gargoyle

Gargoyle 1.15.x based on OpenWrt 24.10 is a beta release switching Gargoyle to the latest stable release from OpenWrt. This also includes the work switching Gargoyle from iptables to nftables (firewall3 to firewall4).

While I do not recommend keeping settings between OpenWrt 23.05 and 24.10 based versions of 1.15.x, in theory they are compatible for most devices. Proceed with caution.

Configs should generally not be preserved between 1.14 (and earlier) and 1.15.x. Do so at your own risk.

Please provide your feedback (positive or negative). If you do think you've found a problem it would be incredibly helpful if you also verified that the problem did not exist on the 23.05 based 1.15.x builds. I'm happy to fix bugs that also existed there, but will be focusing on regressions first.

Please discuss in the forum thread
