[strongSwan] Drop data traffic if ipsec is not present

Hi Sarat,

leftfirewall=yes is the right way to go. Just set up a
general drop policy with iptables, just allowing IKE
traffic via UDP ports 500 and 4500 as well as allowing
ESP (IP protocol 50). Also make sure that the updown
plugin is loaded by the charon daemon.

Best regards

Andreas
