Earlier this week I got a PFSense box home from PCEngine APU2C4 specs: AMD GX-412TC Jaguar 1GHz Quad-Core, 4GB DDR3-1333 RAM, 16GB SSD storage with 3xIntel I211AT ethernet ports and more: https://pcengines.ch/apu2c4.htm
I am using OpenVPN to connect this router to a VPN service I use for personal matters, and I tested with the following settings:
AES-256-GCM | SHA256
AES-128-GCM | SHA1
with these 2 encryption methods I get the same speeds through it like 15/50 Mbit and if I under advanced add these 3 lines:
fast-io
sndbuf 524288
rcvbuf 524288
I reach 80/50Mbit on both encryptions methods above and CPU load maks out at max 20-25% while testing speeds with the VPN what I find weird is that I don't see a higher throughput using AES-128-GCM | SHA1 than with AES-256-GCM | SHA1 and I got told that lowering the encryption method doesn't nessarly means better speeds
I am on a 200/200Mbit connection at the moment and I would really like to be able to put some load on this small box and get better vpn throughput and yes I got told that OpenVPN only is a single threaded application so if this is what holds it back I would really like to know what I can use instead.
