Hello,
my first experience I've made with the CRS109-8G-1S-2HnD-IN. It was set up mainly as a hardware firewall and as VPN-Gateway for Site-to-Site (OVPN) and Client-to-Site (SSTP) Connections from some Roadwarriors. Well, as already known - the learning curve with Mikrotik especially with winbox was/is pretty steep. Nevertheless, I want to learn more and to get better and better.
The CRS did the job very well, but in the meanwhile it seems, that the bandwith becomes to small for all the VPN Connections (average: 2x S2S and about 4x C2S). The reason, why we took the CRS109 was an offer from an IT-Consultant (2015). Today I'm wondering why the CRS109 Spec Sheet doesn't show anything about IPsec throughput rates. (https://mikrotik.com/product/CRS109-8G- ... estresults Maybe the CRS109 was not the best shot for these intended tasks?!
Now, I'm looking for a new Router or CRS for the same tasks, but with way better throughput rates for VPN connections. Maybe combined with a change of Protocoll to Wireguard.
Could you advise me, or give me some hints?
