Does OpenVPN use the Crypto Engine in the SOC?

AFAIK (EA8500) openssl never calls on a hardware crypto engine

Hooked up Brand New Shiny R7800 today that I ordered for testing VPN Speeds. Hit a max of 107 Mbps on the R7800 today at AES-128-CBC. The connection I am testing on is a 110Mbps Connection and I will be testing the 200Mbps Connection tomorrow.

Setup

VPN Service: PrivateInternetAccess to SiliconValley

CPU Clock Speed is at 1725 Mhz Maxed with the Tweak...

SFE: Off

Encryption: AES-128-CBC

Additional Config Tweeks
sndbuf: 600000
rcvbuf: 600000
fast-io





My Thoughts

Not too Shabby... It's outperforming the EA8500 for sure, but for the price of the R7800 I am not impressed. Average cost is about $220 for a R7800 and average for a used or refurb EA8500 is $70

I have hit 90Mbps on a EA8500 with AES-128-CBC

However, in no way does this come close to the wrt3200acm vpn speeds and it barely competes with the Linksys WRT1900ACS.

Out of all the routers, for the bang for the buck, the EA8500 has impressed me the most.

How can you even conclude that, if you don't even know what the real max speed is, since the R7800 maxing out your 110mbps line?

WOW, I went from 40mbits to 101mbits with the first performance solution, which maxes out my broadband.

I wonder what the R7800 can actually do?

Thanks...! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

I normally average 40 to 50Mbps on my PIA connection (sometimes less and sometimes more).

With this script I hit 110Mbps down and 11Mbps up on my 100/10 Comcast service using AES-128 CBC.

Wait, so you are running your router at 1725ghz 24/7?
I noticed when I ran the command, my cpu was pegged at max but after the reboot (krait) its back to normal.
And that command needs to be always in the startup script?

If you want it always on the yes you need to put it in startup. It adds ~3C more so it's nothing.

How have you distributed the processes among the cores?

LAN, WAN and VPN

I have only moved the WAN to core 0 via the smp_affinity command. I am getting almost the entire bandwidth from my provider using this tweak. I have PS Vue and no lag especially with sports,,,,I am running QOS and all seems to be good.I do have SFE on but not sure if its beneficial since I have a 100/5 Mb connection. Can you or others suggest some additional tweaks?

Governor and IRQ tweaks are the only ones proven to have impact. SFE for your bandwidth is useless plus QoS downstream won't work with it enabled.

SFE never have any impact with VPN running on the router.

This has been a great find!
200/100 fibre
My speeds have increased from 40/40 to 110/100 using TorGuard VPN

Forgive the newb questions;
1. How do I set SFE: Off as per earlier comment?
2. Is this setting any advantage to a speed increase?

I found that AES-128-GCM gave me the fastest speeds.
Increasing the sndbuf and rcvbuf from default 393216 did not seem to make a difference???

Thanks again. Cool
