      I am confused by the description of the GLXSB option.

      I have a Soekris 1401 VPN coprocessor board in my system…

      Do I check it or not check it to off-load the VPN processing?

      Thanks!

        Hi,

        dont check it! Read description  ;) ….it's only for AMD Geode LX CPUs with inbuild AES-128 CBC accelleration (e.g. ALIX Boards). So u dont need to load modules.

        When Soekris 1401 VPN coprocessor board is recognised hifn modules are leaded automatically by pfsense.

        cya

        Pfsense running at 11 Locations
        -mobile OPENVPN and IPSEC
        -multiwan failover
        -filtering proxy(squidguard) in bridgemode with ntop monitoring

          Thanks SB.

          I did read that but again wasn't sure if there was something I needed to tick somewhere .

          With 1.2.3 there was a box in a subpage needing to be set before I benefited from my upgrade, no I guess it's just done for me!

          Thanks again!

            If you type:

            
            dmesg | grep -i hifn
            
            

            Should show you that the device has been loaded successfully.  Or if you are running 2.0 BETA, I think it shows on the dashboard.

            ;)
