typically what you see is people using 3DES.  For whatever reason,
even for site to site connections between m0n0walls, most people seem
to use 3DES.  Typically 3DES is the best choice for site to site
between m0n0wall and some other IPsec device, for interoperability
purposes.  For software encryption (i.e. no hardware crypto card),
Blowfish is by far the fastest.  If you switched to 3DES, you'd see a
marked decrease in throughput (and/or increase in CPU utilization).

I have no doubt it's being encrypted, assuming the settings you posted
are correct.
