Gargoyle Router Management Utility

Gargoyle is an open-source firmware for routers, built on top of OpenWrt, with a strong focus on a clean, user-friendly web interface. It adds packages and custom kernel modules on top of OpenWrt for features like per-device bandwidth monitoring, quotas, QoS, access restrictions, and VPN management.

This repository (ispyisail/gargoyle) is the actively maintained home of the project.
