Hi, pointers to locate Global Version MT2500 uboot bootloader will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

All uboot is the same version, do you have any problems?

[peterhkg]

Uboot bootloader currently installed is China specific. What I need is a Global version that would allow me to install firmware with VPN enabled.
Hope this is make sense.
Thanks.

Did you buy the chinese version after the announcement?

Statement on the purchase of products in mainland China

Dear all, We regret to make the following annoucement. Due to current legal and policy restrictions in mainland China, we are unable to provide VPN and AdGuard Home features in our CN version products sold in mainland China. We understand that this may cause inconvenience, but we have to comply with local regulations. If you purchase GL.iNet devices from tmall.com or taobao.com, your devices will be CN version. We have added this information to our product pages on TMall, our official store in…

In that case, you will not have the chance to get VPN running from within the GL GUI.

I got the router from tmall at Feb. 2023 , I didn’t see the announcement in your tmall at that moment.

If you are familiar with the shell, you can set up your vpn through it.

Just download the packages needed for the vpn protocol you want to use and then check for an online guide for howto.

Can & has been done/corrected & GitHub is your best friend. Good luck.

I know a little bit about shell, appreciate if you can share with me the online guide to set up a openvpn client by shell on my MT2500.

Thanks so much @SpitzAX3000 , just found I have tried the LuCI solution last night, but after my VPN enabled, all my network devices are unable to access to internet anymore. and I didn’t find any documents which looks like you shared, it is very helpful to me. thank you again.

No problem just try to get the modem connected to the vpn server. Then you can fix other issues like firewalling, dns, …etc
