Hi Andreas According to [0] QAT supports: * RSA with 2048, 3072, and 4096 bit keys * ECDH for the Montgomery Curve X25519 and NIST Prime Curves P-256 and P-384 * ECDSA for the NIST Prime Curves P-256 and P-384 * AES-GCM with 128, 192, and 256 bit keys The tor-spec [1] shows that Tor

Hello Stefan Wow, that's very good researched. I still didn't get that deep into this. So it really seems, there is no special hardware which helps with Tor beside AES-NI, high CPU clock and a good NIC with good drivers. Yes, I have two instances running. Would be great, to have IPv6 only Tor

Hello Kevin Thanks a lot for your response. 1) Regarding the speedtest, my firewall is limiting the speed to around 6.5Gbit/s. It's a fanless device and not capable to let me use the full 10Gbit/s. I host my hardware in my living room and can't install more powerfull, beacuse it would be too

Hello Alex Thank you for your nice hint ot QAT_Engine. Yes, in theory it really seems to be possible. Looking at the Github repo of the QAT_Engine, it looks like there are still some issues with OpenSSL 3.0: Support for QAT HW ECX, QAT SW ECX, QAT HW PRF and QAT HW HKDF is disabled when built
