How to find out if my CPU is AES-NI capable ?
-
Just curious what will you do when pfSense drops support for non AES-NI processors ?
WIll you buy new hardware…
Yes of course, but only when I need to.

I don't have the cash right now.
Well you have about 2 years or so to save up so start saving.

I don't have the cash right now.
That's not a problem because you don't need it now. You have years to save up for more modern hardware.
Why are you worrying now about something that will happen in a pretty distant future? Your (and mine) old firewall hardware may already have failed and been replaced when the lack of AES-NI is even starting to become an issue.
Relax!

It's too bad, I wanted to support the project via Gold, and was literally going to buy it the week the news hit.
Buy a supported CPU instead.

2 years is long enough for me to but new hardware.
Thanks for your replies.
