I know of one embedded box that's running 200+ OpenVPN servers (making for a very large config), on a VIA that's only marginally faster than an ALIX, and performs great. Most very large configs are running on much, much faster hardware than an ALIX though, just by the nature of what those boxes have to push. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discussion-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: discussion-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
