        This is only limited by hardware (cpu, memory), not by pfSense and it's rather be limited by the number of connections.

          As an example I run a box with 8 OpenVPN servers (mix of Remote and Peer-Peer) as well as 24+ OpenVPN clients simultaneously.

          3GB RAM 2.4GHz Dual core CPU, no major packages.  Typical CPU load < 15%

            ok now i understand.. means that it depends on hardware to handle those all vpn server and client.

            tq

              That's the basic idea, although I wouldn't suggest the hardware I'm running is particularly high powered (or even new for that matter, 7+ years old).

              I have learned that more memory is an asset as well - again within limits.
              512MB is tight in some scenarios (I still have one box with 384MB! ), 1GB is good, 2GB is great, 3GB+ is fantabulous.

              The packages caveats always apply, asking the box to do more than route and basic firewall and/or VPN adds to the required resources.

              When you get to the Snort/Suricata, Clamv, setups a whole different set of parameters get invoked that are best described in their respective forums.
