Hi all,

I am building a new firewall based on 5.2.1-RELEASE. I am using the openbsd port of PF, but I think that my question is fairly generic.

I have remote systems that sort of vpn through this one using ppp-over-ssh. This uses tun devices. In the past, when I had configured X number of devices in the kernel, those interfaces were always present in the system, and think I could firewall based on them.

Now in FreeBSD 5, the interfaces (or entries in /dev) don't exist until they are actually used (I think, I am having some trouble getting ppp working, but I think I have another problem).

I had to add rules to enable traffic over the ngx devices as well for some other things I'm running, and I assume I'll have to do the same for the tun devices. Does anyone have any advice as to what I can do? pf doesn't know about the tun devices at boot time, so I can't use them in the ruleset.

Thanks,
Tim
