i see that doc, but i have no feeling the speed fast. how i do check the AES-NI worked in openvpn?

Nice, you confirmed issue https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9646

JeGr

Besides it being pointless to use "idrand" if you want to check AES-NI capability? If you want that wouldn't you either use no engine at all (because automatic detection of openssl) or crypt(dev)?

Run openssl speed without stating an engine.

openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-gcm

than run it again with AES-NI turned off:

OPENSSL_ia32cap="-0x200000200000000" openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-gcm

The question is how do I know that vpn works with AES-NI

@yon-0 said in openvpn no option for AES-NI:

I gave you two benchmarks, one uses AES-NI if available, the other runs without.
So run both, compare the results and you will see if your system benefits from AES-NI or not.

Run it in the GUI.

Use env to set variables like that, for example:

# env OPENSSL_ia32cap="-0x200000200000000" openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-gcm

Of course it's slow, the ENV command disables AES-NI. Did you read what @viragomann or @jimp wrote?

@viragomann said in openvpn no option for AES-NI:

Run openssl speed without stating an engine.
openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-gcm

than run it again with AES-NI turned off:
OPENSSL_ia32cap="-0x200000200000000" openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-gcm

So of course your test with the ENV in front is slow:

@yon-0 said in openvpn no option for AES-NI:

env OPENSSL_ia32cap="-0x200000200000000" openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-gcm

compared to the one before without the ENV trigger:
