Although the DOT function was added to the merlin firmware. but
I need to bypass DPI because I live in a country where isp censors the Internet.
I've been very stressed since I started censoring at my country ISP last month.
An alternative is to install goodbyedpi( https://github.com/ValdikSS/GoodbyeDPI )
and green tunnel( https://github.com/SadeghHayeri/GreenTunnel ) on the device,
but I want to do DPI bypass at the router level.

https://github.com/bol-van/zapret/blob/master/docs/readme.eng.txt
https://github.com/bol-van/zapret

There is a manual that can be installed on Openwrt, but I would like to install and work on the merlin firmware.
I'm a simple user so I don't know the details
I would be grateful if someone could give me the information .
If not, please tell me how to use the DPI bypass on the Merlin firmware.Thank you.

Please understand that my English is lacking.

Yes this is a really necessary feature.
If so, it would be perfect.

Simply entering these four commands allows the crucial NFQUEUE firewall rule to be activated for the two current IPv4 IPs for 'kinozal.tv'
Code: 
modprobe xt_NFQUEUE

ipset create zapret hash:net

nslookup kinozal.tv;for IP in $(nslookup "kinozal.tv" | grep -oE '([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}' | grep -v "127.0.0.1");do ipset add zapret $IP;done;ipset list zapret

iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -p tcp --sport 80 --tcp-flags SYN,ACK SYN,ACK -m set --match-set zapret src -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 200 --queue-bypass
No idea if it does what it is supposed to do when you then attempt to access 'kinozal.tv'.

However, if DPI seemingly can't be bypassed using the 'splitting a request into segments' PREROUTING method, try the 'mangle "Host:" HTTP header' POSTROUTING method
Code: 
iptables -t mangle -D PREROUTING -p tcp --sport 80 --tcp-flags SYN,ACK SYN,ACK -m set --match-set zapret src -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 200 --queue-bypass 2>/dev/null

iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m connbytes --connbytes-dir=original --connbytes-mode=packets --connbytes 1:5 -m set --match-set zapret dst -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 200 --queue-bypass

So would these commands need to be entered for every site that is being blocked or is there a way to enable it for all sites?
 
Topic is relevant, but still not disclosed.Perhaps there are detailed instructions on how to install DPI bypass?
 
I have an Asus RT-N66U router and unfortunately on the latest firmware Asuswrt Merlin 380.70 DPI bypass "zapret" does not work because of old kernel version.

I did some digging.

Bash: 
admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/mnt/sda1/git/zapret/tpws# ./tpws --bind-addr 192.168.1.1 --port 999 --disorder --tlsrec=sni --split-pos=2 --pidfile /opt/var/run/tpws.pid
setsockopt (IP_TRANSPARENT): Protocol not available

Code: 
IP_TRANSPARENT (since Linux 2.6.24)
   Setting this boolean option enables transparent proxying
   on this socket.  This socket option allows the calling
   application to bind to a nonlocal IP address and operate
   both as a client and a server with the foreign address as
   the local endpoint.  NOTE: this requires that routing be
   set up in a way that packets going to the foreign address
   are routed through the TProxy box (i.e., the system
   hosting the application that employs the IP_TRANSPARENT
   socket option).  Enabling this socket option requires
   superuser privileges (the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability).

IP_TRANSPARENT option available since Linux 2.6.24 but Asuswrt Merlin 380.70 runs on 2.6.22.19
Code: 
admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/mnt/sda1/git/zapret/tpws# uname -a
Linux RT-N66U 2.6.22.19 #1 Sun Apr 8 14:03:49 EDT 2018 mips ASUSWRT-Merlin

Maybe someone can compile a firmware on a newer kernel? BTW a bugfix release has recently appeared https://www.asus.com/supportonly/rt-n66u (ver.b1)/helpdesk_bios/

Not going to happen as no longer supported.
If you want the latest update use stock firmware from the Asus site.
380.70 is the last for Merlin.

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/bol-van/zapret.git

Now need send answer on multiple questions

Now you can change user hosts, for example:
Code: 
youtube.com
youtu.be
googlevideo.com
gstatic.com
yt3.ggpht.com

Run /opt/zapret/ipset/get_user.sh

And run
Bash: 
/opt/zapret/init.d/sysv/zapret start

You can add start command to /jffs/scripts/post-mount script
Bash: 
/opt/zapret/init.d/sysv/zapret start & # Zapret

Thank you very much for the instruction!

I did extactly what you wrote and used your config file, but YouTube still doesn't work, maybe you have any ideas what can be wrong there if I exactly copied all you wrote?

Thank again!
 
You can't use the configuration what i'm provided
You should read the documentation of Zapret to select the necessary parameters
For example in my config NFQWS_OPT_DESYNC_HTTPS has comment :) but it cant work properly

I really appreciate your answer!

Yes, I made some changes in the config file and everything works fine now! I'm really happy with it! :)

I uncommented all the NFQWS_OPT_DESYNC_* fields and it worked!
 
This won't make it to amtm. It's not been tested on the whole range of devices.
Once you have it at a stage where it works with all the router's without having to edit the config manually then it may likely be considered. You can install one of the current amtm scripts and see how it automatically detects the router/firmware and just asks a few questions as part of the install, then integrates itself into entware. Further configuration is done in cli menus. A basic RT-AX88U only script, that works outside of the current system just just won't cut it.

Check out BACKUPMON to see how it should be done. Or see if you can get one of our established coders on board to help you polish this up.
