      I know it's probably been asked tons of times before, but I'm having great difficulty estimating openvpn performance with various hardware .. crypto accelerators etc.
      I'm using openvpn AES-256-CBC etc..  pretty run of the mill stuff.
      My router will give barely 6mbps .. ( ASUS AC66) not surprise there.
      My connection using windoze based openvpn is 80mbps ( my max connection is 100mbps)
      So I'd like whole house vpn support.
      What hardware ?
      What will the SG-2220 handle ?
      @ 240$ ( SG-2220) it would seem cheaper to just get a small pc with much higher performance ? I like to idea of low power dedicated appliance but not if it's going to be struggling to keep up.

      Cheers

        Using for example a modest thin client, you can even get 66Mbit/sec:
