Hello therel,
I've trying to determine if there is a way to check if my hardware is capable of using any option under "Hardware Acceleration" drop box, and so far, I couldn't find anything out there.
Anybody knows if there is way to check that, maybe running a CLI command?
Thanks in advance!!
Check your CPU to see what it supports. Open a shell and run 'sysctl hw.model' then look up the model:

This is the CPU of my appliance
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/212328/intel-celeron-processor-n5105-4m-cache-up-to-2-90-ghz.html
but there is no references about:
- hifn, padlock, qat nor safe there...
I will keep googling it to see if I find the answer, but thanks for replying!

You've found your answer - your CPU does not support any of those.

Intel® AES New Instructions Yes
Intel® AES New Instructions
Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) are a set of instructions that enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption. AES-NI are valuable for a wide range of cryptographic applications, for example: applications that perform bulk encryption/decryption, authentication, random number generation, and authenticated encryption.
I know it's an old thread, but a google search lead me here, so I thought I'd chime in:
I am also looking to verify that OPNsense is using this instruction set, using the exact same processor, and yes. I can confirm that the Celeron n5105 does in fact support Intel's AES-NI instruction set.
Now if only I could figure out how to verify it's being used under FreeBSD...
How about "dmesg | fgrep -i aesni" on the CLI?
Indeed, confirmed for N5105
dmesg | fgrep -i aesni
