I run OpenVPN on a Raspberry Pi 2 behind my router (currently a Linksys
running OpenWRT).  Other than the initial handshake taking about 10
seconds (I have an extremely large key) it's been fast enough to handle
four IP camera feeds (5-10 fps 640x480), a VNC session (via SSH tunnel)
plus some web traffic all simultaneously without a glitch.  Anything
bigger than the RPi2 will probably not even notice.
