The CPU remains free for other tasks like handling VPN traffic, running network services (like Samba or Docker), or processing complex firewall rules for new connections. kmod-nft-offload
Implementing kmod-nft-offload yields tangible performance gains, particularly in the following scenarios: Check the box for (optional, handles offloading via
: Netfilter nf_tables routing and NAT offloading. Core Dependencies : kernel , kmod-nf-flow , and kmod-nft-nat . Check the box for (optional
Software offloading speeds up routing entirely via software code shortcuts. Rather than parsing complex rule definitions for every packet, the kernel processes traffic through a fast-path layer inside the kmod-nf-flow dependency. This is highly effective on x86 mini-PCs and low-power ARM architectures. Hardware Flow Offloading
On OpenWrt, you typically install this via the package manager:
