AirVPN, PFSense & PCEngines

Recommended Posts

I have to admit being stumped here.

 

Device 1: Virtual pfsense - lots of CPU and memory

Using Chow (Uk Server) on 2018 UDP

I get speeds of 170+Mb download

 

Device 2: PCEngines. Quad Core 1Ghz + Hardware Offload (AES256)

Using Chow on 2018 UDP

I get speeds of 55Mbps - no significant CPU useage that I can tell

Not using VPN - Speeds of 200Mb

 

Everything else is either the same or very similar

 

I may have to try pfsense on the PCEngine

 

 

Using beta.speedtest.net to test with

That was my tentative conclusion

No support for the hardware acceleration

 

Update:

I loaded pfsense onto the PCEngine

 

Used the same config from the software firewall (with a few nessesary tweaks like ethernet ports)

Navigated to system/advanced/Miscellaneous and changed the settings. I also tweaked the openVPN client settings to say use hardware crypto

Hardware Acceleration shows as working

    

     Crypto Setting to AES-NI CPU & reboot

          Result - about 56Mb

     Ctypto Setting to AES-NI and BSD Crypto Device & reboot

          Result - about 56Mb

 

Whatever I do I don't seem to get better than about 56Mb. I am dissapointed (not, I hasten to add, in AirVPN)

 

I think I shall go back to my virtual pfsense. With the pcengine unit back in th junk pile of other failed projects - got lots of them
