The first thing you can do is connect a hub (not a switch) to the WAN interface and also connect a 3rd computer running IP sniffing software such as Ethereal (http://www.ethereal.com) to watch the actual data packets traversing the Ethernet. All of the encrypted traffic will be using the ESP protocol.

The second thing you can do is to disable the IPSec filter "Allow unprotected traffic". This only allows IPSec data to traverse the IP addresses/ subnets identified by the IPSec connection.

WARNING - Setting this option requires an IPSec software client to communicate with the MultiCom since ALL communication will be encrypted.
