+1 on this. I've benchmarked the linksys WRT54G against other comparible models before, it it rated at the bottom of the list when depending on hardware encryption performance.
I like it as a home routing device, but I dont recommend it for site-to-site when performance needs to be maximized. -- ME2 On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 10:14 PM, Phil Brutsche <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't know if I would go that route, just on a basis of CPU "horsepower". > > Most of the options I listed have either hardware cryptographic > accelerators or enough horsepower to do it in software. > > The Linksys WRT54G(L) boxes have very, very weak CPUs and do not possess > the necessary hardware acceleration. > > Derek Lidbom wrote: >> If it were me, I would have to drop $100 on two Linksys WRT-54GLs and >> try: >> http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/OpenVPN_-_Site-to-Site_Bridged_VPN_ >> Between_Two_Routers >> >> I've had lots of luck with dd-wrt in other scenarios, and you could >> double your purchase and have redundant backups as easy and re-flashing >> an image (I'm assuming the VPN doesn't add complications with that). > > -- > > Phil Brutsche > [email protected] > > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ > ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
