It looks like the future pfsense 2.5 is going to require AES-NI in the cpu. My old Xeon does not have AES-NI built-in so I don't know what I am going to do. I will have to decide whether to upgrade hardware or move back to Untangle. We still have probably a couple of years. So people buying hardware now might make a note. You may want to make sure your new hardware has AES-IN built-in to the Intel CPU.
