I tested OpenBSD with Soekris and couldn't discover bottleneck
capacities over internet. But I never had the chance to send with more
than 8MBit/s.
But to provide must power, it's possible to use the GeodeLXs' 50Mbit/s
pre-processor. You only have to enable the AES-128-CBC algorithm in
your openvpn-config; e.g. cipher AES-128-CBC
