trohn_javolta Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hi, I want to try out my Odroid HC2 as an openvpn client. I don't expect great performance but I want to make sure I set it up correctly. This is why I want to ask if anyone can give any recommendations or tweaks for using it as an openvpn client. Idk much about openvpn, I know it uses openssl for de and encryption. Is there a way to use hardware de and encryption so I can speed things up and have a better download speed via openvpn? Or is hw de/encryption maybe already used by default if I just install openvpn package? Any recommendations on how to correctly set this up are appreciated.

jshc1 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 HC2 doesn't have AES-NI so I don't know what HA you mean. First, just start using. What transfers do you currently have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What transfers do you currently have? Meh, dl speed is only at 7 mb/s. With my router I get at least 10 mb/s....Any idea if I could up that somehow? I now changed governor to performance but that doesn't seem to do much. Strange thing I noticed is, that running htop, it only shows 8 little cpu cores not 4 big and 4 little....Also cpu frequency never exceeds 1.5 ghz on any core....Is there sth. wrong? This is cat cat /etc/default/cpufrequtils output: # WARNING: this file will be replaced on board support package (linux-root-...) upgrade ENABLE=true MIN_SPEED=600000 MAX_SPEED=2000000 GOVERNOR=performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
