I don't use encryption for media streaming on my Raspberry Pi because the lack of hardware support for crypto means the download rates drop from 70 to 7 Mbit/s.

I don't use encryption for media streaming on my Raspberry Pi because the lack of hardware support for crypto means the download rates drop from 70 to 7 Mbit/s. I won't spend money on the new model because people on the internet tell me streaming cartoon series is sensitive traffic.
There you go, a counterexample for your blatant overgeneralization.
- thomashabets2 11y ago:-) I seem to remember getting 50-70Mbps with SSL on my Raspberry Pi (not RPi2). I had to tweak my cipherlist, but not to anything unreasonable insecure. The limiting factor there though was by far the USB hard drive attached. Banana Pi has SATA onboard, and not a NIC that's attached over the USB bus, so I'd recommend that in most cases.
- untitaker_ 11y agoI wondered if I did anything wrong with the setup, so I'd be really interested in your cipher list. I did read some benchmarks on the internet though.
- thomashabets2 11y agoIt was most likely upping the prio of RC4, to select that. It's been a while though.
- amyjess 11y agoOn top of that, encryption adds client-side overhead as well.
- untitaker_ 11y agoOh, I wouldn't really care about client-side overhead -- that one scales itself, and in my particular example the machines I use are powerful enough.
