Do you have an entry in your /etc/rc.conf?
Check under the section labled,
##############################################################
### Network configuration sub-section ######################
##############################################################
look for:
network_interfaces="tun0 lo0 ed0"
There are a few combinations possible, but you want to be sure that tun0
is on that line inside the quotes.
In addition, you need a line after that like this:
ifconfig_tun0=
save changes, reboot, and check ifconfig again. This worked for me.
