Hello Sajal,

Tunneling 0.0.0.0/32 == 0.0.0.0/32 does not work. What do you try to do?
You need to decide on the subnets you want to tunnel or negotiate 0.0.0.0/0 == 0.0.0.0/0
and then use mark(,_in,_out) to give the kernel information how to handle the packets.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Kind Regards,
Noel Kuntze

However after decryption *it is not able to route *the traffic towards interface connected to Host B. *On the contrary we see that decrypted traffic is seen on the same interface from which it received the ESP frames. i.e. the interface connected to SeGW. i.e. both Encrypted and decrypted packet seen on same interface.*
