Hardware recommendation on 40mbps openvpn wifi for home
-
Indeed, almost any relatively new x86 hardware should be good for 50Mbps OpenVPN throughput. The FW-7541 we used to sell with an Atom D525 for example.

smb over high latency is crap because of how chatty it is.. Do a sniff of a smb file transfer over your lan.. Now multiple the number of packets by your latency and you will see how it sucks!

thanks for all your answer.
I need encryption with openvpn so i search an hardware with no limit the speed ( like my home computer ).
I know speed decrease with encryption but try so;e commercial standart router and speed is very very bad ( ddwrt ans tomato firmware to test )

Yeah, here is an example of a cheap motherboard and CPU that will meet your needs:

Here is an example of RAM that will fit the above board (if you don't already have some used laptop DDR3 lying around):
Here is an example of a NIC that will meet your needs:
Use the DDWRT router that you already have for wifi, just use it as an access point:

If you don't already have a desktop case and PSU then you can get something like this to put it in:
If you don't already have a HDD/SSD that you can reuse, then install 2.4.0 BETA and install to a pair of thumb drives in a mirror.
If you don't have a pair of >1GB USB 2.0 drives laying around then buy a cheap pair from someone like Sandisk.

You can safely ignore the SMB discussion as you decide which components to buy.

thanks a lot, i will check your link.
Thanks again

pfSense SG-2220 & WiFi card & console cable would match really this numbers.
maybe an other recommendation with two intel nic onboard.
APU2C4
mSATA with 16/32/64 GB
Compex WLNX200 or UBNT SR71-E WiFi card
Nullmodem cable and FTDI based USB to Serial adapterI need encryption with openvpn so i search an hardware with no limit the speed ( like my home computer ).
Then go for a ASUS Q87T or Jetway NF952-Q170 board and 8 GB RAM and an Intel Core i7 or Intel Xeon E3 :-)

With no limit on the vpn speed of a 40Mbps link. The APU2 is fine for that.

Hello,
just test with lte 4g connection :
without vpn 200 mbp/s
with express vpn software on my i7-4790k juste 50 mbp/s !! aes-256 encryption
I don't know why.
Express vpn ? My computer ?
Have you and idea ??

Probably a limitation at express VPN. 50Mbps doesn't seem that bad for a service like that unless they are guaranteeing more.

Try PIA, you should max your WAN easily. It's like $4/mo.

thanks,
i try later.
My brother with this setup :
linksys wrt3200acm ddwrt and acevpn :
without vpn 100 mbp/s ( lte 4g )
with vpn 50 mbp/s processor run at 3%.Acevpn or linksys wrt3200acm ?
Thanks

Well for me Personally.
1U Case from Ebay AMD A4-5000 APU on an ITX Asrock Motherboard 4GB of RAM Low Wattage 1U PSU 40GB SATA HDD Dual Port NIC from HP
Total Cost was closer to 200, but thats due to the Case Choice to be fair as i wanted a 1U for a Slim Form Factor (Irony being 1U?)
But this is used for close to 100 down and 10 up.
And this also runs a OpenVPN Trunk and full bore and only uses about 20% CPU.
Due to the AES Support, this helps reduce the bottle neck.Hope this helps you :)

ciao, you could also take a look here

I set my old router (Asus RT-AC56U) as AP with no problem connecting to WiFi at maximum OpenVPN speed allowed from my current pfSense router (Celeron N3150).

hum try PIA and acevpn and not good. Less than expressvpn setup
And other vpn service can other max speed ?
-
Sounds like a co figuration issue. That hardware and those services can easily do 200mbps
-
I contact expressvpn but no solution from hotline :'(
-
I think it's a configuration issue on your end, not theirs. I've seen people report speeds in excess of 600Mbps on PIA VPN. an i7-4790K can certainly exceed 200Mbps on a single thread.

Hi,
what do you think about qotom q370g4 i7 4500u ?
It's good ?
Thanks
