In the process of troubleshooting traffic issues across a VPN tunnel, you notice on the output of fw monitor -e host(172.21.1.10), accept; that packets are going through the inbound chain (i > I) and then disappearing after the outbound chain (o > __), while you were expecting to see the packet leave on O. What could be causing this issue?

A.

When packets are destined to leave through a VPN tunnel, it is encrypted and encapsulated in an ESP packet, and thus will not show up on a fw monitor.

B.

It’s not showing up on the fw monitor because it is exiting the wrong interface
