Taking some answers from a reply to a different user: The BCM2712 SoC microcontroller has a base frequency 1,5 GhZ with 4 cores and 4 threads, but most importantly, it also supports openSSL hardware acceleration, with up to 42 times faster AES speeds.
Also, regarding the "I'll just do this at home with my static IÜ until I want to repurpose my brand new Pi", there are datacenters who will colocate your Pi, at very affordable rates. At least there were..
