crypto

Will a Intel QuickAssist 8970 cryptographic accelerator Card help speed up VPN speed with and Intel I7 7700 CPU? My concern is is the Intel QuickAssist 8970 needed if the processor supports AES-NI? I am looking to convert a Dell Optiplex SFF into a router/VPN end point. Thanks in advance.

Is anyone successfully using multi-currency crypto wallets on FreeBSD? For example, Exodus, Atomic, Guarda, Coinomi, etc... Considering that those compilations work only on Linux, it would be great if someone could tell they can work on FreeBSD. Thanks!
