ENC(4)                 FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual                 ENC(4)

NAME
     enc -- Encapsulating Interface

SYNOPSIS
     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your
     kernel configuration file:

           device enc

DESCRIPTION
     The enc interface is a software loopback mechanism that allows hosts or
     firewalls to filter fast_ipsec(4) traffic using any firewall package that
     hooks in via the pfil(9) framework.

     The enc interface allows an administrator to see outgoing packets before
     they have been processed by fast_ipsec(4), or incoming packets after they
     have been similarly processed, via tcpdump(8).

     The ``enc0'' interface inherits all IPsec traffic.  Thus all IPsec traf-
     fic can be filtered based on ``enc0'', and all IPsec traffic could be
     seen by invoking tcpdump(8) on the ``enc0'' interface.

EXAMPLES
     To see all outgoing packets before they have been processed via
     fast_ipsec(4), or all incoming packets after they have been similarly
     processed:

           # tcpdump -i enc0
