Not true.

As far as I can tell, these warnings are harmless - the filters will be
added as normal and will take effect once the tun0 device actually is
created.

You can also create the tun0 device by doing something like:

echo < /dev/tun0

prior to the ipfw add - the tun# devices are created at first open.

Probably something like this should be added to rc.firewall.
