I've been trawling the web for information on performance of routers/NAS's capable of running an openvpn server at home. It will be used to access CCTV/NAS/Homenetwork/Localisation (i.e. so I can watch iPlayer when abroad).
The areas i'm concerned with are:
1) Performance. Currently on BT Infinity so 20Mb up, but likely to switch to FTTP during the lifetime of the server hardware I choose.
2) Security. Prefer an off the shelf solution that will receive security updates. This will be the only public pinhole to my home network and don't want to maintain a self build myself.
3) Power consumption/Noise/etc. Want something efficient and not too noisy (going in eaves, but will still hear it if it is very loud) as it will be running 24/7.
Based on those i've narrowed it down to a NAS (Synology/QNAP) or new router (Asus RT-AC3200 or equivalent). I'm buying a new NAS anyway to host some new WD REDs for CCTV storage and general storage. And I noticed some of the more expensive ones (TS-453A or DS416PLay) have AES-NI support. I've seen some reviews that suggest decent throughput on these AES-NI equipped NAS's as openssl will utilise the hardware acceleration. But the other option is a cheaper NAS and spending the money saved on a new router. However, I can't find much info on the performance of routers such as the Asus RT-AC3200 when running openvpn as server rather then client.
Ofcourse there may be an option I've missed, so happy to be steered in a different direction.
Essentially I'm looking for a secure, efficient, fast, "cheap" openvpn server appliance. If it can lay golden eggs all the better
Any help greatly appreciated.
