Hello freebsd-net,

  From searching the archives this looks like an old issue, but I
  still can't understand something.
  AFAIU, now the ipfw + ipsec interoperation looks like this:
  input: encrypted packet comes to system. It is not checked against
  ipfw rules. Rules are applied to decrypted payload packet.
  output: packet is going to leave the system encrypted by ipsec. The
  packet itself is not checked by firewall, but, after encryption, the
  resulting ESP packet is run against ipfw rules.
  I am sorry, but I still cannot understand the reasons for such
  strange, ugly behaviour. Does anybody knows the reasons for that and
  what chances are that we ever get fully-functional ipfw code
  checking _every_ packet on the stack.

  Thanks.
