The 128 MB ones, yes. Have been for a long time. We've stated 256 MB
as the minimum supported since one of the 1.2.x releases, at least 6-7
years ago.

Sure it wasn't showing the same before? Maybe some change in FreeBSD
10.1 made the avail memory less than it was previously. It warns at
less than 101 MB avail (which was generally enough to not warn on
systems with 128 MB real).

If you're running nothing beyond the defaults on a small network, 128
MB might be OK. But forget about running any type of VPN, or much of
anything outside of defaults.
