Openvpn up to 100 mbs throughput : what to buy ?

[parisbyday]

Hello Everybody,

I have a 100 mbs download cable connection (6 Mbs upload).
I want to run an openvpn client toward my vpn provider and tunnel all my traffic.
i am looking for a hardware able to handle this.
i suppose, it would need at least a atom based hardware or even more powerfull.
I am looking for a hardware where i could install pfsense.
I had a look at soekris product line but even the net6501 does not seems powerfull enough.
I dont want to spend around 500 euros, if i am not sure that i will have the expected performance.
i hope in this forum, people have already a solution for me.

i tested previously a WNDR3700 (cpu 680 MHz / RAM 64MO) with dd-wrt with openvpn client but i cannot do better than 2MO/s (16 mbs).
If i use a MiniPC with coreI3, it will be able to reach 9.5 MO/s but i dont want to have a PC

Thx in advance for your feedback,

Jean

When I said to ask in the OpenVPN mailing lists, I didn't mean here ;)

They have their own forums and mailing list. That's where you'll find people with lots of experience of running OpenVPN and what your options may be.

Does your VPN provider limit bandwidth?
