Hello

IPSec Tunnel security is working like this: You have to permit traffic to
the Tunnel, this you can du with Access-Lists on a Firewall (ie ipfw)

In the Tunnel, only permitted traffic will be transmitted, so you don't have
to filter packets comming from the IPSec Tunnel. It's not interesting to
transmit all the traffic and filter the traffic on the tunnel-end. Beacause
all traffic submitted by the tunnel needs bandwith on the WAN interface. But
if you will do this, you can define special Access-lists with ipfw where you
deny or permit special kinds of traffic from the Network on the other side
of the tunnel.
