How to install “vanilla” openwrt on GL-AX1800?

I want to install ( GitHub - itdoginfo/podkop: Dev podkop ) but because I have OpenWrt 23.05-SNAPSHOT r23485+111-e92cf0c46f / LuCI openwrt-23.05 branch git-25.070.50735-0322352 I literally can't install anything. I live in Russia and would like to put VLESS and point-to-point routing to sites that I need, all my attempts to implement this on my router ended without success. I tried different methods and I came to the conclusion that most likely I need to put a clean version of OPENWRT and then everything will be fine, maybe I'm wrong, advise me what to do in this situation.

or another question, when should we expect a stable version of OPENWRT?

Your best bet is using a build by @solidus1983

Or you can try two other things:

There was a PR on the openwrt github it seems these images are not build yet on release, you could fork this and build it, or you can use openwifi from here this one was used by GL-iNet, you need to compile it yourself.

You can git clone GitHub - itdoginfo/podkop: Dev podkop copy the luci-app- podkop to feeds/luci.

copy podkop somewhere in feeds/ you can check the Makefile manifest (doesn't need to be perfect resemblance it will compile anyway on the correct category in make menuconfig)

Then ./scripts/feeds update and ./scripts/feeds install thefeedname or -a for all

with make menuconfig you update the packages and you can select them, with make you can compile.

They are now in master snapshots of openwrt as the PR was merged, using my builds is no longer required.

is there any way to make this easier? I'm just not a professional in this subject. Maybe there is a ready-made mod file for my router version with a stable version of openwrt.

Hmmn i have did a little read on that github.

if you download the ipk to /tmp/ and just try:
opkg update <-- you need this for kmod-nfproxy
opkg install /tmp/package.ipk

the issue is also that I'm not sure if your version of OpenWrt has nftables.

Have you tried this?, you want to install kmod-nft-tproxy first.

I'm trying to install stock OpenWRT.

Specifically https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots//targets/qualcommax/ipq60xx/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-glinet_gl-axt1800-squashfs-factory.bin

When I try to use the manufacturer's web UI I am told:

The firmware is not compatible with this device.

When I try to do it with the luci UI I am told:

Image check failed.

The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format. Make sure that you choose the generic image format for your platform.

In both cases the SHA256 matches what the download page said.

What is the right way to do this? (And not brick my device.)

Thanks,
