One of the machines behind this firewall is an OS X iBook running through a WEP-enabled Airport base station in bridged mode (i.e. it only bridges the wireless and the ethernet). WEP has known problems, and I'd like to secure the link between the iBook and the FreeBSD firewall against snooping or malicious neighbors, etc. I think that IPsec is the closest thing to an answer, however after much digging through setkey man pages, the FreeBSD handbook, and other HOWTO web pages nothing clearly describes this configuration. This is not really IPSec transport mode, because it's only secure between host and gateway not host and host, and it's not tunnel mode because I'm not joining two LANs. Has anyone done this?
