I'm pretty sure that 2002: address is (a) *your* end of the tunnel  and (b)
only visible inside your network and *inside* the HE tunnel to the other end.
In other words, it shouldn't be seen out on the public net if it's transiting
an HE tunnel. I bet if you changed that '-i any' to '-i wlan' (for whatever
your router calls the outbound-facing interface) you won't see traffic on 2002:
