How to use XOR-patched OpenVPN `.ovpn` config on OpenWRT (Xiaomi AX3200, 23.05.5)?

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to use an XOR-patched OpenVPN config on my Xiaomi AX3200 router running OpenWRT 23.05.5. After days of searching, I haven’t found a working method.

Here’s what I know:

Now I want to run this XOR-patched .ovpn config on OpenWRT.

Here are my questions:

  1. Is it possible to run an XOR-patched OpenVPN client on OpenWRT?
  2. Can the OpenVPN binary on OpenWRT be patched or replaced to support --xor?
  3. Are there any prebuilt packages or feeds with XOR support?
  4. Is there a workaround like a wrapper script or plugin that enables XOR?
  5. Has anyone successfully run XOR-obfuscated OpenVPN on an OpenWRT device?

Thanks in advance for any advice or experience you can share!
