20.Sh NAME
21.Nm sec
22.Nd route based IPsec VPN tunnel interface pseudo-device
23.Sh SYNOPSIS
24.Cd "pseudo-device sec"
25.Sh DESCRIPTION
26The
27.Nm
28driver provides point-to-point tunnel interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6
29protected by the
30.Xr ipsec 4
31Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
32protocol.
33.Pp
34Traffic is encapsulated in the ESP protocol and forwarded to the
35remote endpoint by routing over a
36.Nm
37interface rather than matching policy in the IPsec Security Policy
38Database (SPD).
39.Nm
40interfaces require the configuration of IPsec Security Associations (SAs)
41.\" with the interface extension
42between the local and remote endpoints.
43Negotiation of interface SAs is supported by
44.Xr iked 8
45and
46.Xr isakmpd 8
47(the latter via
48.Xr ipsecctl 8 ) .
49.Pp
50.Nm
51interfaces can be created at runtime using the
52.Ic ifconfig sec Ns Ar N Ic create
53command or by setting up a
54.Xr hostname.if 5
55configuration file for
56.Xr netstart 8 .
57The interface itself can be configured with
58.Xr ifconfig 8 ;
59see its manual page for more information.
