Hi all, A bit off topic, but has anyone had any experience with OpenVPN using hardware accelerator cards supported by OpenSSL? We're looking at trying to raise the number of simultaneous tunnels that a box can support by using some of the various PCI cards available and supported by OpenSSL (or vendor patched OpenSSL). A lot of the cards available talk about connections per second for SSL applications but we want to increase the throughput of established tunnels. I have no idea if any of these would actually work, but it would be great if it did :) We'd like to use a 3DES+SHA1 for the tunnel cipher; AES cards seem too expensive for our needs. Currently, we've been looking at the Cavium NITROX boards (which use Cavium's "modified OpenSSL") - it seems to have a high throughput for 3DES+SHA1, but I have no idea if that's properly utilized with OpenSSL/OpenVPN. If anyone has used any of these cards with OpenVPN, I'd love to hear about your experiences and/or recommendations.
