@ AES256, SHA256, and RSA-4096 in real time?
I am about to get a 150Mbps(hopefully) connection to the home and I was wondering if this CPU can do it(hopefully with some headroom in case they upgrade my connection)?
I am looking to buy really soon.

Are there any users who have this CPU and what are your thoughts?
It has a TDP of just 6 Watts

Yes, it will. But PIA's speeds have been erratic and tanking over the past months (San Jose and LA servers). Many nights during peak traffic I'm only getting 10-25 Mbps where before it was 150-200Mbps. Also their provider isn't even able to stream YT at 1080 and 4k some nights. Really frustrating.

Also, if this is your first time with pfsense I strongly recommend using dual nics.

I have a dual Intel NIC coming from another place.
Thanks for the reply.

Upon thinking about it, how would you use pfSense with just one NIC? I am just curious as to what you meant.
