All in userland. I use UDP for the transport, and it uses OpenSSL in the base for the crypto. In this case, AES-128-CBC. There is no hardware assist on the APU either to offload the AES.


Isn't OpenSSL in the base on releng9 the 0.9.8 version whereas in releng10 it's the 1.0.1 version? This could make a significant difference. I've heard rumours before that the newer version is a lot slower but I've never had cause to believe it.

It could be worth installing OpenSSL from the ports system on the releng9 box and reinstalling OpenVPN so that it links against it. Then they will both be on 1.0.1. Could be an interesting test?
