Aren't you using 192.168.1.0/16 as you mentioned above?

I'd also do:
ipfw add 65534 deny log ip from any to any
This way if you will see something not working you will have a
log to debug. For example, your ftp will not work -- you'll have to use
passive ftp. Else you gonna see server trying to connect to your port
40000+ (if I remember correctly) from it's port 20. If you dont' wan't to
use passive ftp, then
ipfw add 1509 allow tcp from any 20 to any 40000-40100 in recv tun0
^^^^
Notice how it should be before 1510. Also, you have to add
incoming port and not just "... from any 20 to any" since if I am root, I
can claim to be from port 20. :)
AFAICT the rules look ok. Really paranoid people might just take
out icmp (think Phrack issue 51 article 6). But yeah, everything looks
fine. Add the "deny log" rule before last one if you want.
I am sure if I missed something people here will correct me.
