OpenVPN performance - Merlin vs stock firmware

K

New Around Here
Hi,

I want to set up OpenVPN server on Asus RT-AC86U. I've chosen this router mainly because it supports AES-NI. Does stock firmware use these instructions or I have to use Merlin to benefit from it?
 
AES-NI - it speeds up encryption and improves performance of OpenVPN. I can't find any info if OpenVPN in stock Asus firmware is using it.

Stock firmware will also be hardware-accelerated.
