"Tomato is based on the GPL sourcecode released by Linksys, but includes proprietary binary modules from the chipset manufacturer Broadcom." (Wikipedia) ... evil Broadcom!
Gargoyle is indeed ok, but you surely are missing a lot of options compared to tomato.
According to wikipedia, the frontend is also proprietary, not only the driver. Is wikipedia wrong on that?
If you don't have anything against OpenWRT, I'd suggest X-WRT. It's a nice web frontend tacked on.
Hi, I'm the author of Gargoyle. Thanks for the post referencing my software!
Regarding security and CSRF attacks mentioned above -- this vulnerability was fixed in Gargoyle very recently. Beta5 and prior are vulnerable, while users of the latest bleeding-edge firmware (and future releases) are not. Also, to the best of my knowledge X-Wrt is vulnerable to CSRF attacks, while the newer LuCI interface, which is now the default with OpenWrt, is not. However, last time I checked LuCI doesn't support https, which is a problem.
It is really disappointing that tomato isn´t freeware...
It is helpful anymore.... |
