Is it possible to get OpenVPN to do encryption on another server?












0















I have 2 servers with OpenVPN installed but a higher end server I want to do encryption on. Is there any way to reroute OpenVPN encryption to the high end server?

  • Probably not. It strikes me that that would defeat the integrity of OpenVPN and IO cost is likely to offset much of the gain. Why not just run OpenVPN on the higher end server or use a cypher which offloads encryption to aes-ni on the CPU chipet?
