Running a BitTorrent (BT) or Private Tracker (PT) server at home can be challenging if your home network doesn’t have a public IP. Public IPs are essential for direct peer-to-peer connections, which significantly improve torrent connectivity. However, with the right setup, you can achieve similar connectivity and even gain extra benefits, like access to IPv6 peers, by using a VPS and WireGuard.

Padavan is a notable open-source firmware project, ideal for routers with MTK chips. While it's officially designed for certain ASUS routers, it can be adapted for most MTK chip routers (Ralink RT3883, MT7620, MT7621, MT7628) through configuration adjustments. This tutorial focuses on building Padavan firmware for the MI-NANO router, a device that, despite its impressive design, suffers from outdated official firmware and lack of IPv6 support.

The Xiaomi router nano, with its MTK 7628 chipset, is a compact yet powerful device. This tutorial will guide you through gaining root access and flashing its bootloader, enhancing its capabilities and performance.

Building on our previous discussion of Trojan-gfw, this guide focuses on Shadowsocks-libev, an alternative proxy tool that encrypts traffic to evade ISP network censorship. However, users should be aware that Shadowsocks-libev may not be effective for bypassing Chinese network censorship and could result in the server's IP being blocked in mainland China.

In this tutorial, I'll walk you through setting up a Trojan proxy, an effective tool for bypassing network censorship. Trojan-gfw is adept at disguising internet traffic as HTTPS, making it challenging for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to detect your activities.
