Please don't throw me off but I have a question about the base FreeBSD system. PfSense has announced that a future release will require a processor that is AES-NI compatible. It could be next year. The current PfSense version is based on FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p6. My processor for that system is not AES-NI compatible. I have a 2.3 GHZ, 2 core, 2MB cache CELERON G1840, LGA1150 that works quite well for my home with very little power draw.
Does FreeBSD use the AES-NI instruction set? If so what use do they make of it? Could this also be a FreeBSD requirement in the future?
Just a little curious.
