Hello everyone, I’m looking to improve my network setup. Right now the arrangement looks like this: Spoiler And I’d like to move it near that. Before making any changes, I need to confirm a few points. First, I’m planning to install pfSense myself and I found an affordable i3 4350 with 4GB RAM. I’m wondering if that’s sufficient for running OpenVPN at 500Mbps. Second, I have strong doubts about whether a single VPN connection can deliver 500Mbps. Since I can connect to three servers at once, is it possible to run three OpenVPN instances and combine their links into one? Lastly, in the new layout I’ve set up two separate subnets, but I’m not sure if it’s better to use two subnets or implement VLANs. What are your thoughts? Hope you can advise me and share some tips, TheMineGeek
