                @tharinduudaya said in Minimum requirements for 400 Users:

                and the P2P routing

                Is this peer to peer routing between LANs at higher speed than the WAN bandwidth?

                        And that's also 100Mbps? And the VPN is terminated in pfSense or is there some external VPN hardware?

                            The VPN encryption/decryption is probably going to be the biggest CPU load.

                            As long as it's 100Mbps or less and the Atom you choose is something recent, like C3000, you should be OK.
