I didn't know that, wow. I found some resources on this [1] [2] [3] but it seems like everything is working? Have you tried WireGuard on OpenBSD/octeon?

  Not yet... I bought a brand new one just for testing with OpenBSD vs Vyatta because I'd like to benchmark performance of each.

    Are you planning to post your benchmarks? Also, any helpful info on getting OpenBSD running on one of these is welcome!
    - technofiend 8y ago
      Yes I will post benchmarks and rulesets. I plan to make equal rulesets for each OS if possible.

Do you have any documentation on using the onboard packet accelerator with OpenBSD? I thought it was just binary linux blobs.

  Just saw this, so sorry for the late reply: https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20180418073437 https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20180418073437 Unfortunately I was wrong and the post is just for cryptography acceleration. Will have to check the commits to see if any other work has been done.

    Ahh, that’s unfortunate. Thanks for looking it up anyway.

I wonder if the EdgeRouter Lite is similar enough to the Unifi Security Gateway to port that...

  Yes. http://www.codeghar.com/blog/openbsd-on-ubiquiti-usg.html http://www.codeghar.com/blog/openbsd-on-ubiquiti-usg.html They're basically the same hardware.
