No problem; VPN leakage is already mentioned. As you mentioned, it is
slightly ambiguous.

Yet in my case the problem was more that I did not expect something
there. Would I have read about the "-6" option, I would have understood
the significance.

My problem was that I silently expected native OpenBSD daemons not have
a lot of startup options (appart from the usual "-dnv"). Indeed, I even
scanned iked(8) to find the "-ST" flags to reduce the noise.

So I was expecting to find rather something in iked.conf(5) or maybe a
sysctl or something with "man -k any=flow" or "any=policy".

I am not this much of an expert of mdoc(7), but other man pages declare
flows with ".Ic". "Internal or interactive command" does not sound
really correct though.

A "preview" of the patch follows.
