      Hello,

      Can anyone suggest a VPN accelerator card for Alix 2d3? I need the best performance for OpenVPN, but not many simultaneous users (1 or 2).

      Best regards

      Kostas

        The Soekris HiFn card is what most use:

        However you will get better throughput for, perhaps, not much more by swapping out the Alix for something more powerful.

          Have you enabled hardware crypto of AMD Geode LX in System > Advanced > Miscellaneous and in OpenVPN servers config?
          This should work well with AES-128-CBC encryption. However the OpenVPN throughput is limited at about 20 mb/s with this hardware.
