<p>I've had Strongswan working without incident on a host that is
direct internet-facing for quite some time.</p>
<p>Now I wish to run it on a host that is NOT direct internet-facing
- that is, the configuration looks like this:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Internet-------Firewall---------------DMZ Host</p>
<p>I can easily (and successfully) "hole punch" through the firewall
for ports 500 and 4500, so it comes up. HOWEVER, FreeBSD
apparently does not support the "farp" plugin (it won't compile on
5.5.1) and as a result there's a problem because once I get the
private address from the DMZ host the network doesn't know how to
find it. It continually beacons for an ARP response and not
getting one, nothing works.</p>
<p>Is there an answer for this in the FreeBSD world under
StrongSwan?<br>
