      I see this crypto engine listed now. What are the best settings for

      System - Advanced - Miscellaneous - Cryptographic Hardware

      And

      VPN - OpenVPN - Clients - Hardware Crypto

      to leverage this ?

      I have posted a similar question re: the SG-4860. The manual just says use your device manual to determine best settings but the SG-1100 manual I have access to was written before pfSense plus.

        @mfld SafeXcel accelerates AES encryption for IPSec. To utilize it, you'd want to use IPSec.

          Yes, it only really does anything useful for IPSec currently. Enable it in Sys > Adv > Misc then set IPSec to use one of the supported ciphers.
