How is TLS negotiation and transport on older hardware (with no AES-NI hardware acceleration)? I remember it used to be expensive as heck to do TLS back in 2014~, so much so that we bought accelerator cards and segmented "secure" servers so that load wouldn't hit the ordinary browsing of our sites... |

I use a TLS forward proxy. With today's overpowered hardware, I can even run the proxy on an old "phone" (but I cant run NetBSD^1)
This allows the older computers I own to use plaintext HTTP like the good old days
