Setting up openvpn with a killswitch in a freebsd jail

I’m trying to setup a kill switch so that if OpenVPN becomes inactive all other connections will be blocked. I tried to adapt this Linux set up, but it doesn’t seem to work on FreeBSD.

This is my openvpn.config

group openvpn
dev tun
remote url.xxx.com 443
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
auth-nocache
verb 3
explicit-exit-notify 5
rcvbuf 262144
sndbuf 262144
push-peer-info
setenv UV_IPV6 yes
ca ".../keys/ca.crt"
cert ".../keys/user.crt"
key ".../keys/user.key"
remote-cert-tls server
cipher AES-256-CBC
comp-lzo no
proto udp
tls-auth ".../keys/ta.key" 1

and this is my ipfw config script:

#!/bin/bash
ipfw -q -f flush
cmd="ipfw -q add"
$cmd 00001 allow all from any to any via lo0
$cmd 00010 allow all from any to any via tun0 # the vpn interface
$cmd 00101 allow all from me to 192.168.0.0/16
$cmd 00102 allow all from 192.168.0.0/16 to me
$cmd 00103 allow all from any to any gid openvpn 
$cmd 00104 allow all from any to any established
$cmd 00110 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 53 out setup keep-state
$cmd 00111 allow udp from any to any dst-port 53 out keep-state
$cmd 00201 deny all from any to any

Unfortunately, OpenVPN can’t establish a connection with this configuration:

Looks like that in freebsd openvpn wants to start as root/wheel no matter what ad it will downgrade to a custom group only once the first connection has been successfully established. Is there a way around that?

I also tried to configure ipfw to allow any connection to/from url.xxx.com but ipfw doesn’t seem to support urls.

Did anyone successfully set up a killswitch on FreeBSD?
