You can always enable logs on Strongswan.

e.g.

charondebug="app 2, asn 2, chd 2, job 2, tnc 2, tls 2, knl 2, cfg 2, dmn 
2, ike 2, net 2, lib 2, mgr 2"

Make sure the CA public cert is installed as a trusted CA on your 
Windows machine for Windows to trust serverCert.pem, otherwise it will 
refuse to connect.

Also make sure that the recommended certificate requirements are met for 
serverCert.pem:

e.g. --flag serverAuth --flag ikeIntermediate
