Hi,

I use for a will an ATOM D525 board. I want to upgrade my sytem with Xeon processor
What do you think about Xeon E3-1220L (20W TDP) for some packages and VPN

Regards

It will depend on how many users and what packages are you going to install.

Xeon is better then atom.

Hi,

Usually, 4 or five users.
I will use pfblocker, OpenVPN and OpenVPN Client Export Utility.
Fot VPN only one or 2 user no more.

Thanks for using pfBlocker ;D

It's a small network, I think it will fit.

For now I have 20Mb ou will go to 100 MB

The D525 will support ~60Mbps of VPN traffic, ~500Mbps of unencrypted bandwdith. That's without any packages slowing things down.

See here for some test results from a D510.

Thanks for the link.
Ok, with E3-1220L should be oversized for now but could help in futur…
