[strongSwan] CONFIGURATION OF MULTIPLE CHILD SAs IN IPSEC.CONF FILE

You can’t do it in Strongswan directly, but if you combine SS + iptables you can (assuming Linux here, but concept is same).

rightsubnet = 172.27.186.64/28	# This puts 172.27.186.64 -> 80 in the tunnel scope
leftsubnet = 172.30.200.172/29	# This puts 172.30.200.172 -> 180 in the tunnel scope


Then in iptables, do explicit FORWARD statement for the hosts (/32’s) you want to forward.  You can get as fancy or simple as you want, from all ports/protocols to individual port/protocol combinations with state tracking.

Let SS do the forwarding/crypto and the FW do the access control.
