How can you tell if onboard encrypter is working

[fastcon68]

I just installed VMWARE and it shows a built in encrypter.  I run phpsysinfo and it does not show up, but i see it  when pfsense vmware appliance run's.  The system is working great.

I am really glad that running pfsense again, it is much fast, than the netgear router than I have been using.

I really like the control over the VPN tunnels that I get.  It is huge improvement.

Are you using IPsec or OpenVPN?

If FreeBSD supports that crypto chip, it should be used automatically by IPsec, but there isn't a real good test for that.

For OpenVPN, you can test with and without the cryptodev settings, and also with OpenSSL at the CLI:

See here:
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Are_cryptographic_accelerators_supported

If you are just seeing the "cryptosoft0" line, however, that is not an accelerator.
