Hi,

I read them. But I think that the final solution cannot be
'well we will have a hole like this always since it cannot be fixed'.

I wasn't saying that I want a network interface device like 'tun',
I just wanted something similar that could be used with
ipfw to more accurately specify filters.

why couldn't we have something like:
(imagine that a new option -n has been addded to setkey's spdadd)

setkey -c << ZZZ
spdadd xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy any -n my-tunnel-1 -P in ipsec
esp/tunnel/aaa-bbb/requre;
ZZZ

and then

(imagine that new keyword via-ipsec-tunnel has been added to ipfw)

ipfw pass ip from any to any via-ipsec-tunnel my-tunnel-1

I think that this would just be, well, GREAT!
It would allow very easy creation of VPNs with simple rules
and without any holes.
