    btw i'm not trying to argue with you but just trying to get the total cost of ownship of this venture i'm trying. At minimum i would think this pc would use $100 a year in electric bill as this pc will run at all times and let's say will be 25% load under openvpn usage. With encyryption being...

    I'm assuming you're saying 200W pc will have marginal cost of that $130 electric bill cost per year as it's idle will be lower then 750W? I mean they all have idle/minium idle wattage they pull (35-45W?) and i assume 750W and 200W pc will have similar idel or 25% load wattage with 750 slightly...

    System this may intrest you....it's so cheap. Only if i knew how to program manually those routers i would get this. It's $100 and it does 1M pps. It doen't look like it has openvpn and no gui for openvpn. https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-lite/

    Well cost of 24/7/365 even at idle will $130/year at minimum and that's assuming pc manufacturer used 80 plus silver PSU. It's funny i don't sleep or hibernate my rig but now i will ...lol...Now i wonder how much Watts asus router uses. Must be low probably? Makes sense to build low power...

    Hey guys. I did some digging around and I came to the conclusion. Total cost of ownership of pfesne on 200W pc over period longer then 1 yr makes NO SENSE at all. If pc would be on and has to be on at idle for full year cost of this pc would be $200+ per year. 200W power supply pc is out of...

    Good thoughts system and nullity. I will think about it. I looked it up and bulldozer pc is ~$300 so not that cheap unless somewhere else but newegg. System u think even on AES256 core 2 3Ghz can pull 87Mbps ?

    Thanks bud. I already have Intel Pro 1000 MT Dual port Server nic so plan to utlize that. I will give a shot over a weekend running threw the guide but if i fail i will drop this virtualization as it's too much learning curve for me for now. My intention was to try pfsense and get this up to...

    Thanks guys. I'm going to have to think about this. With virtualization solution providing i can get this up on ESX i saw lots of threads on high utilization cpu on vmware platform so i'm not sure if i want one pc be doing all that. Also when i reboot pc my firewall will reboot as well. On...

    System you killing me bra. lol. I'm not good with math. 28 cycles per byte hehe. In short answer Core 2 3Ghz is enough to pull 85mbps on aes128 and aes256 or will cut it short? That mikrotek router looks sweet but it's probably driven by Cisco ios or something which i don't know. I would then...

    System are those SSE4 instructions worth $100 more for i3 for encryption decryption? http://ark.intel.com/products/53422/Intel-Core-i3-2100-Processor-3M-Cache-3_10-GHz

    Other box i found is this $150 box but it's same cpu speed yet better processor i3, but is that only marginally better? It's still dual core i3 and it still will lack AES instructions and will have SSE3 instructions. Unless i'm mistaken it will be marginally better then that Core 2 3Ghz pc i...

    I'm open to suggestions L&LD as long as they are under $150 for what i'm trying to accomplish???? Just like with anything rewards vs cost. What are your suggestions even over $150 and why?

    Whole pc is $55 so that's why. Again i could buy new intel xenon with AES instructions but then mobo cost and psu, memory, hd. It will run me a $1000 for mear 20mbps increase in vpn speed. I'm trying to justify cost to gain ratio here. The way i see i have two options making virtualization...

    I understand and i agree 100%. For me avr joe i have no need yet for all this and for whopping $1000. You know what i mean. Do i really need to get 85Mbps on vpn, probably not, 60mbps would do it but why shouldn't i if my comcast isp is 90/12. It bothers me i'm limited by some cpu in router and...

    Blade thanks for offering to help. I got it up. Pfsense assigned opt1 to my dell integrated card during auto configuration during initial setup. Thanks again tho. I couldn't get pfsense to work with vmware so i failed with virtualization solution. I will try ESX over the weekend but will fail...
