My friend bought a unit MT2500A for my Christmas present. When I complete setup, I found that MT2500 is CN version, default dun have VPN and adguard feature inside. It is possible flash the firmware to global version with VPN and AdGuard Application?

I got the same issue too.  
My friend bought me a MT2500A as a Christmas gift as well as an upgrade to GL-AR300M for remote access to home network.  
When I complete setup, I found that MT2500 is CN version and VPN server feature is pulled out from GL.iNET Panel.  
I now studying the feasibliitiy on using Luci to setup the server for home access, but no luck yet.  
It is possible flash the firmware to global version with VPN server application?

Found that the firmware build from GitHub source code works…

here is one built from a JiaY-shi :  
[https://github.com/JiaY-shi/build-gl.inet/releases/tag/target\_mt7981\_gl-mt2500.true.2023.02.01-0342](https://github.com/JiaY-shi/build-gl.inet/releases/tag/target_mt7981_gl-mt2500.true.2023.02.01-0342)

I used [squashfs-sysupgrade.bin] to upgrade and VPN part shows back.

> I am facing the same problem. Can I have the solution too?
