      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 adapter

      I 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.

                  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 :)

                    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 )

                    ciao, you could also take a look here

                    https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=115673.0

                    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 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.
