## Linux To be done... ## Routers Recommendation: OpenWRT with Passwall installed. You can usually get one on taobao, but make sure you ask the seller if Passwall is already installed or not. Otherwise, Merlin-Koolshare routers can be installed later, but they do not support Xray, so we'd recommend trying to get Passwall on OpenWRT if at all possible. Routers are NOT officially supported. Support provided on a best-effort basis. If you get a OpenWRT router, it is **HIGHLY, HIGHLY** recommended to get it pre-installed. Installing it yourself is very complicated, if not impossible. We do not provide guides or support on how to install OpenWRT due to the complexity. | | Merlin | OpenWRT | | -------------------- | :----: | :-----------------------------------------: | | Officially supported | ❌ | ❌ | | Trojan | ✅ | ✅ | | Xray | ❌ |
