freeRouter is heavily multithreaded so for 4 cores is appreciated, as a budget SOHO router, VPN hardware NIC assistance is not required. If VPN concentrator is needed we can deploy in a SOHO environment a dedicated box that has a CPU with AES-NI support. freeRouter won't run as a VM so VT-x nor VT-d and VT-c is not required.  

• home office work
• regular 720p/1080p/4K (and more) on-line VC via RENATER RENDEZ-VOUS or ZOOM
