      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.

        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 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 )

                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.
