Hi Jiehan,

yes there is a better way using the type=passt option
as in the following example scenario:

http://www.strongswan.org/uml/testresults/ikev2/shunt-policies/

Just add a passthrough shunt policy for your local net in ipsec.conf

conn local-net
	leftsubnet=10.1.0.0/16
	rightsubnet=10.1.0.0/16
	authby=never
	type=pass
	auto=route

Regards

Andreas
