      For an SG-5100 running pfSense+, under System - Advanced - Miscellaneous - Cryptographic Hardware, which choice is the optimal setting of the following?

      • None
      • AES-NI CPU-based Acceleration
      • AES-NI and BSD Crypto Device (aesni, cryptodev)
      • BSD Crypto Device (cryptodev)
      • Intel QuickAssist (QAT)

      In case it is a factor, the box acts as a server for OpenVPN, IKEv2, and Wireguard connections.

        QAT is your best bet since you are on Plus and the hardware is capable.
