Cryptographic Accelerators boards support in pfSense ?
-
Ahh yes, now I remember why I took the option out to begin with. Give me a second and I'll post the module with the fix.

Hehe, think I opened up a "old/new" area to explore more for sullrich and the guys. :)
It is an interesting topic and could improve the performance for VPN for many users
for a reasonable price. just like 50 euro or something for a board.sullrich, maybe it would be worth having people with accelerator boards
come back with feedback on how good they work / don't work, and maybe
weeding out some bugs for the non-working.Also update the "VPN"-section in the Feature-page highlighting that it actually
supports Crypto-accelerator boards and maybe do some update of the
"Hardware Sizing Guidance" with some tests on how much gain you would get
adding such boards.This would give the pfSense even more cred for beeing a serious alternative
to way more expensive system like Cisco, Watchguard or similar.And if you get some more companies with better budget, they will also have
the better budget for Commercial support and maybe also putting up bountys
of a bit higher figures. Of course this is speculation from my part but could
very much so be a reality.Best regards

There's a ubsec(4) in the Nokia IP130 (and maybe in all IP1x0) that is seen by the kernel.
Is there anything special to be done in order to use it (in a VPN) ?
