ENC(4) BSD Programmer's Manual ENC(4)
enc - Encapsulating Interface
pseudo-device enc [count]
The enc interface is a software loopback mechanism that allows hosts or
firewalls to filter ipsec(4) traffic using pf(4). The vpn(8) manpage
shows an example of such a setup.
The enc interface is a software loopback mechanism that allows an ad-
ministrator to see outgoing packets before they have been processed by
ipsec(4), or incoming packets after they have been similarly processed,
via tcpdump(8).
The "enc0" interface inherits all IPsec traffic. Thus all IPsec traffic
can be filtered based on "enc0", and all IPsec traffic could be seen by
invoking tcpdump(8) on the "enc0" interface.
To see all outgoing packets before they have been processed via ipsec(4),
or all incoming packets after they have been similarly processed:
#> ifconfig enc0 up
#> tcpdump -i enc0
