ipfw add pass tcp from any to any via tun0 out keep-state

However, if you plan to use NAT, I highly recommend IPFilter -- it is "in
kernel", so there is not a transition from kernel -> userland -> kernel.
Also, natd is quirky and can cause "failed to write back packet" (IIRC) when
not configured "perfectly".  The samples in the /etc/rc.firewall file cause
this error message.
