Hi All, I recently changed my client devices (3COM officeconnect routers with VPN capabilities) to 3DES from DES but it seems that it increases ping times to the remotes, even though the pfSense box doesn't show too much usage.
I am quick to blame the remote 3COM officeconnect devices at the remote locations,; but I was wondering if any 3DES accelerator cards might help the situation a bit. If anyone has any to recommend, please let me know. pfSense hardware is Dual P3 Xeon @ 1.4 GHz (BTW, is there a SMP version? Is that other CPU sitting idle or ....) Thanks much for such an excellent product, Donation will come with my next raise (my boss just thinks "free" and is extremely pleased but I do owe the team something for not making us spend $4000 on an inferior boxed VPN device). On a separate note, given our bandwidth requirements--why shouldn't we get two SDSL lines instead of a T1 plus SDSL for redundancy? The SLAs are very similar and SDSL is less expensive.
