[strongSwan] Telnet over a tunnel using Local IP (rather than Public IP)

[Anupam Malhotra]

Hi Thomas

I did try "left=xp.xp.xp.xp". In that case, even the tunnel is not
established. Is there anything else which I can try here?

Best Regards

did you try
left=xp.xp.xp.xp
for the particular connection?
