Although the processor has some hardware offloading capabilities, they are not used by EdgeOS 1.8 (the current version). The EdgeRouter X is about half the size and price of the Lite, has 5 ethernet ports, and an 880 MHz dual-core dual-threaded CPU. Unfortunately, OpenVPN makes the hardare offloading features mostly useless. outer_LITE The EdgeRouter Lite has 3 ethernet ports, a 500 MHz dual-core CPU, and can offload some routing functions to hardware, making it capable of gigabit speeds in certain configurations. After getting mine configured the way I wanted it, I haven't really had to touch it.

On the plus side, the command line tools and configuration structure are quite sensible to someone who knows networking, the support community is pretty good, and common operations like port forwarding and checking connectivity can be done from the web UI.

Although Ubiquiti's web UI does have setup wizards that can make these devices work like consumer-grade routers, the wizards don't cover OpenVPN or the firewall rules that would prevent VPN leaks. I would recommend these routers only for people who are either good with command line network configuration, or who have someone else to deal with such things. Both these wired-only routers are made by Ubiquiti, cost under $100, and include an OpenVPN client that can be configured through the command line. Following up on my post in the OpenVPN Service topic: I now have FTTN, and have done some tests with OpenVPN running on both the EdgeRouter X and the EdgeRouter Lite.
