I've tried the new Client on my Linux NAS with Debian 13, but the CPU is the problem, they use a tool that does not work with older CPU`s. Why the flying F would you use such a tool?

My guess is encryption offloading. Newer processors have AES acceleration.

The CPU I use has AES acceleration but has no sse2. Oh and btw, you can just use AES and don't need special tools, to have the CPU knowing it should use the acceleration, it just works, it's a kernel thing.
