[strongSwan] IPTables NAT Query

Hi Noel,
 
I need the SNAT as the network on the right want to see the traffic
originate from the 1.1.1.0/24 range for internal routing purposes.
 
I thought (Bryan Duff set me straight) I needed two Child SAs. Because
the right device is a Cisco device I had to configure two separate Child
SAs rather than do rightsubnet=c,d. It seems the Cisco ASA wants to do
it that way and it was causing me problems. Martin Willi previously
helped me with this (see attached).
 
Cheers,
 
 
Tormod

Hello Tormod,

There is a graph[1] that describes the path of the traffic in the
kernel.

Why do you believe, that you have to apply SNAT/MASQUERADE?
By the way, your tunnel setup is wrong.
You define two IPsec tunnels, but there is only one being used:

>SecurityAssociation-2{2}:  INSTALLED, TUNNEL, ESP in UDP SPIs:
cb5e661f_i 9add0a95_o
>SecurityAssociation-2{2}:  AES_CBC_128/HMAC_SHA1_96, 0 bytes_i, 0
bytes_o, rekeying in 48 minutes
>SecurityAssociation-2{2}:   1.1.1.0/24 === 192.168.0.0/16

You should look for the reason that causes CHILD_SA of
"SecurityAssociation-1" to not come up.
Also, with IKEv2, you can combine the subnets of all SAs into one.

So you can build something like this:

leftsubnet=a,b
rightsubnet=c,d

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Kind Regards,
Noel Kuntze

translated destination address. This is only used in step 3. In step 4
the destination address is translated and by the time it gets to step 5
the traffic source and destination addresses match that of the second
child SA which also matches the single child SA on the right side.
