@Gertjan I am attempting to offload the encryption to the SafeXcel chip, I have had it running in the past with OpenVPN again I am also testing use of it with squid and my swap partition, but of those cause the interrupts to be incremented, but all the sudden OpenVPN will not use the SafeXcel chip anymore and it did with this version a couple months ago. Something is different as it should utilize it like it did in the past. I originally thought it could only be used by one component, that could be fstab file and use of .eli to encrypt the swap and or using it with squid for acceleration of ssl certificates, but they both work, all the sudden OpenVPN won’t increment the counters anymore. It’s weird because from what I am told OpenVPN should do this automatically, the new versions of software remove use of hardware crypto and OpenVPN but I can’t even run tests it acts like the chip does not load. That’s where it has confusion it should still see the counters increment in the system but it does not. It does drastically improve performance with the “ssl engine” directive in squid. Again not many people use .eli at the end of the swap config in fstab. So it’s kind of a trial and error thing. Goal faster vpn access to my private NAS.
