VPN setup on a Liberty router with PassWall

This guide is for a Liberty router with preconfigured firmware and PassWall. The admin address, initial password, and interface labels below apply to that configuration; they are not universal settings for all OpenWrt routers.

Screenshots are reused from the Russian guide. English interface labels below are translations; wording may vary by app version.

Before you start

• Get your complete personal subscription URL from your service bot. Keep it private and hide the token in screenshots.
• The password for the liberty Wi-Fi network is printed on the back of the router.
• Do not press the RESET button.
