      Is there anyway to activate the onboard crypto chip on the SG-1000. I am using it to vpn to my main office and I would like to offload the crypto to the chip, so the cpu has more time for other stuff.

      am335x built-in CPU Crypto (inactive)

      Also, do you know what crypto gets the best performance through this chip?

      Thanks,
      George

        The onboard crypto accelerator will be used with pfSense 2.5.

        Using OpenVPN AES-128-CBC can achieve up to 20Mbps.
        Using IPsec AES128-GCM IKEv2 can achieve up to 22Mbps.

          Perhaps those 3 sentences (or at least an indication) can be put on the product page? Seems a lot of people are interested in rough VPN throughput of the SG devices. Even suggestions like "Use SG-3100 for WAN connections above 200Mbps" would give purchasers a guide :)

            I agree, this was suggested many times. I was told that this will be fixed in future website update.
