See last week's thread "Soekris 5501 and pfSense with VPN", where it
is said the hardware can readily support a total VPN throughput of
20Mbps under OpenBSD.

If your VPN uses AES-128, the Net5501 has OpenBSD-supported
acceleration, so you may see lower CPU load if you make this the
preferred encryption for the VPN.
