pfSense lists the AES-NI as a supported option for crypto acceleration.
pfSense will use it for OpenVPN and IPsec if you tell it to. There's a config

I'm not aware if any performance testing for AES-NI on pfSense.
There are reports that FreeBSD doesn't support AES-NI very well.
Thank you for this information, Jim. So I figure, that buying the Xeon
