> In it's initial state if_ipsec allows to use only one set of encryption parameters (because only one sainfo anonyumous is possible), so at this time it doesn't allow to create multiple tunnels with VPN hubs that use different cipers and/or transform sets, but as far as I understand this is subject to change and Andrey is already working on a support of this feature from ipsec-tools IKE daemon.
pfSense (which you mention below) is using strongswan, so when Andrey
is finished with ipsec-tools, we will need to review his changes and
see what we can do for strongswan.
I'm looking forward to the mutliple-tunnel support, which is required
for pfSense.

I've already saw a discussion on FreeBSD web forums, and people there are excited about if_ipsec too.

I'm not sure what discussions you saw. We're aware, and very
interested in the VTI support.
