Hi need to run some ideas across the more enlightened !
I see many people like pfsense lately it also had openvpn support, I was looking at a few high end routers the new AC66/N7000 look great but expensive, so was just thinking why not build a super Router with pfsense for a bit more !
So my idea was simple at first, a SAPPHIRE EDGE VS8 or Intel Nuc, I was leaning on the intel nuc barebones 1.8ghz celeron, but the sapphire edge has 1.6ghz quad cpu it also supports AES support. So I think this would really give less cpu overhead with openvpn support ? (I use openvpn client with my vpn)
Either way yes the DIY router may cost me £100-150 more then the top routers but its about future proof and stability and performance, also if it breaks down can easily repair it!
Any thoughts or projects on what hardware or cpu to choose ?
