I would like to setup a dedicated gigabit connected OpenVPN server in a data center and route my internet traffic at home (200 mbit) through this server. The link is capable of working with those speeds and the idea is to achieve the same results with OpenVPN.
So I read about using gigabit and OpenVPN (
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Gigabit_Networks_Linux). Getting an Intel processor with AES-NI support (
http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced?AESTech=true) seems to be a requirement.
Besides that CPU, what else is required? Am I right and do I only need a simple server with the right CPU, a couple of gigs of RAM, gbit ethernet and a small HDD to make this work?
