[strongSwan] Exclude protocol from IPsec

Reading another thread, I changed "right" of "skip" connection on both 
client and server to be  "127.0.0.1" and that fixed up a few things:
1) The IPsec installed is type transport (as desired)
2) I do see shunted policies list ICMP PASS

*However, I still have my pings from client to server encrypted :(*

*Client:*
