v21 XG Home VPN Hardware acceleration

MikeyS 15 days ago

Good evening,

Back testing XG Home, does v21 support hardware acceleration for IPsec and SSL VPN tunnels? I have XG Home installed on a XG230 R2 at mo, I have a XG135 R3 that has pfsense + on it atm, so pending successful testing, planning on dropping pfsense and such. The XG135 R3 has QAT too

It is, the message that was given is about Sophos XGS series, which have a secondary processor (NPU) for IPsec offload.

That CLI query isn't related to AES-NI.
