Don't do that.<br>
220 is managed by strongSwan. Keep them in the main table.<br>

They are only visible in the output of the TRACE target. I suspect they are note copied into the buffer passed to the applications.<br>

The *nat table is only consulted for the first packet of a connection.<br>

> The reason is most likely this passthrough IPsec policy installed by the<br>

> main routing table) via ip_vti1. For a ping from 10.10.10.2 to<br>
> 10.10.10.1, the VTI interface won't find an IPsec policy to protect the<br>
> packet (the passthrough policy has a higher priority), so it gets dropped.<br>
> <br>
> To avoid that, either install the routes via VTI in table 220 (which is<br>
> ignored by the bypass-lan plugin automatically), exclude the VTI<br>
> interface explicitly via charon.plugins.bypass-lan.interfaces_ignore, or<br>
> just disable the bypass-lan plugin completely if you don't need it.<br>
