D2500CC for a 120/20?

One significant difference is that he was using IPSec not OpenVPN. I believe it is easier to specify the encryption engine for IPSec but I never tried it. It could be that you are not using the Padlock engine correctly.
In that post he also says that without Padlock he got 12Mbps from his 500MHz C7. The rates you are seeing could line up with that.Steve

I have added the command line into my openvpn.conf as well to ensure the proper start/load of padlock. It was shown during openvpn start. So it can be that my measurement (using OpenVPN as client) can not be compared with the measurement with IPsec.
My vpn provider is only supporting OpenVPN, L2PT/Ipsec and PPTP. I have two options now- Live with that and use my PC´s to connect through pfsense
- Buy stronger hardware (for example the Intel Atom D2500CEE or a greater VIA CPU with padlock (mini-itx and fanless needed)
At the end, too bad that i haven´t bought the 1.5 GHz VIA C7 board, but this one had a fan. I assume that the additional 300 MHz would be enough for the needed 6-7 Mbit VPN throughput :)
–-----------------------------------
Modify:I found now this page with some guides to improve the throughput
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Gigabit_Networks_LinuxI will try it today at home again. Ok i have not a Gigabit Network connection but some commands would perhaps help.

hi stephenw10,
a short feedback. It is running very well but i dont know the root cause. 42Mbit AES-256bit-CBC@60% cpu usage. I have recognized that using SSH or the webinterface is dropping the download speed extremly for some seconds. If i close all these applications the speed is stable. thx for support
