    For an SG-5100 running pfSense+, under System - Advanced - Miscellaneous - Cryptographic Hardware, which choice is the optimal setting of the following?

    • None
    • AES-NI CPU-based Acceleration
    • AES-NI and BSD Crypto Device (aesni, cryptodev)
    • BSD Crypto Device (cryptodev)
    • Intel QuickAssist (QAT)

    In case it is a factor, the box acts as a server for OpenVPN, IKEv2, and Wireguard connections.

      QAT is your best bet since you are on Plus and the hardware is capable.
