GRE is *not* used by IPSec.
GRE is IP protocol 47. This is used by PPTP (along with 1723/tcp)
IPSec uses other protocols - 500/udp for IKE key exchange & ESP (IP protocol
50).
It can also, optionally, use AH (IP protocol 51),. This is not supported by
the ip_masq_vpn kernel patch & it is unlikely to ever be possible...
So, I'm afraid that this is bad naming if the ip_masq_ipsec module is also
included in the RPM...
Best Wishes,
