+Install
+-------
+1. Drop the files onto OpenWRT (22.03 and higher) router
+2. Run `install_xray.sh`: `chmod +x /root/install_xray.sh && /root/install_xray.sh`
+3. Configure this installation:
+- Edit this rule in `configure_xray_startup.sh`: `iptables -t mangle -A XRAY -d 1.1.1.1 -j RETURN` to match your public static IP address
+- In `/root/xray_config/04_outbounds.json` add your connection details
+4. Enable the `xray` service in LuCI (System -> Startup, it should be at the end of the list) and reboot your router.
+
+(In case it fails to work, you may disable the service and reboot the router again to revert the effects)
