Nanopi r6s doesn't even have openwrt 22.03.5 snapshot and not support openVPN!
As @kotamo pointed out, that's not the official build, ask the people providing the image...
But it's a yes to most questions, except perhaps GPU and VPU.
Depending on what you're processing via ffmpeg, the modules might not be available in OpenWRT.
Is there a similar/analog/alternative to NanoPi R6S with official OpenWRT support and with the ability to implement all my ideas?

But GPU and VDU support is something Openwrt doesn't provide, no matter what hw platform you choose.
I understand that with OpenWRT on CPU via ffmpeg decoding AV1 1664x936 30fps in H264 will not work? If so, is it possible to put a lightweight linux distribution as 2 operating system in parallel with OpenWRT to decode the stream communicating with GPU? The question arises where will the Internet go then in OpenWRT or in Linux? How will Linux get Internet from OpenWRT?
It's probably works, but there no hw acceleration, meaning the CPU might become a bottleneck.
If the boot loader supports dual booting...
Depends on how you solve it, dual boot, or virtualization...
Any Linux can act as a router, OpenWRT simply provides a webUI for setting up, and controlling it.
There actually is a AV1 decoder and a H264 encoder in hardware. The former is supported upstream (since 6.7-rc1), but not the latter. And I suspect it may be quite a while before that changes.
I meant in OpenWRT, not Linux in general.
Rockchip v6.10 Images 2024.07.15. Anybody know when will the spapshot openwrt for r6s finally be build?
Good news! It seems that R6S support has just been added to official OpenWrt!

Where can I download Official OpenWrt for R6S ?
There is none.
It will show up in main snapshot here in a day or two after the buildbot completes its next sweep through all the targets.

Thank you.
Is snapshot complete version with GUI interface?
Sorry for this question I'm new to OpenWrt and using it for a last few months.
https://openwrt.org/releases/snapshot
if you use https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=SNAPSHOT, find the R6S (works once the files are built), click the tiny arrow, and "Request build", you'll get an image with the webUI.

Thank you.
I will try it when version for R6S will be created.
Seems like the Snapshot just updated and is now available:

Great. Thanks.
Now what should I do? To have GUI included?
Just click "Request Build" ? Then click the gear icon on the right?
But maybe luci is already included and I have do nothing?
Also... which version is better if I run Friendly OpenWrt now:
SYSUPGRADE EXT4
OR
SYSUPGRADE SQUASHFS
Hi,
In my case, I did the following:
# sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/openwrt-rockchip-armv8-friendlyarm_nanopi-r6s-squashfs-sysupgrade.img.gz
I didn't keep configuration when reflashing from ImmortalWRT to OpenWRT.
