Be aware that very few routers actually have enough power to do openvpn encryption with higher bandwith (20Mbit+) links and 256CBC encryption. You may get better results by downgrading your cipher (not every vpn provider supports that) To achieve good performance you are looking for hardware with Intel QuickAssist, I would recommend putting pfsense on something like http://store.netgate.com/ADI/RCC-VE-2440.aspx

I actually just built one with a C2758 (8 core atom) supermicro board. I put PFsense on it and it's been running great. I have gigabit internet at home, so I opted for the more powerful box. A lot of people on the pfsense forums seem to use one form of these boards.
