Hello Tim,
You need to except the packets that are supposed to be tunneled from NAT, not the esp packets.
Replace your
"iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 ! -p esp -j SNAT --to-source 172.21.0.2"
with "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -m policy --pol none --dir out -j SNAT --to-source 172.21.0.2"
Assuming you use the netlink backend, of course.
I think your SNAT breaks it, or you are not using CISCO UNITY. Excepting traffic from NAT in the correct way
helps obviously. Check if the unity plugin is loaded and "charon.cisco_unity" is set to "yes"
Furthermore, using iptables directly to configure the firewall is bad. Use iptables-save and iptables-restore,
as well as their respective counterparts for IPv6.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards,
Noel Kuntze

On the client connections, I include the remote IP range in ‘leftsubnet’ but I suspect their is either an ordering problem or maybe an iptables issue. StrongSWAN does add a forward from my client range to the remote range though, so I’m not sure what I’m missing. The site to site itself works like a champ so it’s just getting the client/server VPN to see it.
