[Users] a simple question about FreeS/WAN

Hello,
Is it normal that in the following case the non IPSec peer can access
the protected subnet ? (without using a firewall on the VPN Gateway, of
course!)

IPSec peer-----------
                                    ----VPN Gateway (FreeSWAN+X509
certificates)-----protected subnet
non IPSec peer----

I was thinking that only the IPSec peer would access the protected
subnet and the others would be rejected since not authenticated.
However, it seems that clear connections to the protected subnet are
still possible. Is it really like that when there is not a firewall ?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.
