Thank you, I have seen it by the ngctl utility. So the real issue is a 
NAT. PF NAT do not work with tun0, and no more kernel NAT 
implementations in the dfly at now. I love Darren Reed's ipnat, but it 
has been removed from dfly. FreeBSD has kernel NAT (which is really 
ng_nat if I understand correctly) for the ipfw, but dfly uses old 
versions of the netgraph and ipfw. So, no other solutions at the moment.

Yes, it works, but eats too much CPU from time to time. This is not 
fatal for me, but I always like to have a best configuration :-)

There is one more thing which seems strange for me: from time to time I 
see two or even three addresses on the tun0. Is it normal? Must I to 
worry about it?
