Do we need to do anything to enable AES-NI?

my quad core that has esxi6 on it supposedly has aes-ni support in the CPUs.  Do I need to do anything in ESXi, or in pfSense either, to take advantage of AES-NI for OpenVPN?

We do not need to do anything but you do:

System -> Advanced -> Miscellaneous -> Cryptographic & Thermal Hardware -> Cryptographic Hardware -> AES-NI

by the way, wrong group :)
