So now I'm super confused.  I changed to the below:

conn rw	
leftsubnet=192.168.1.0/24
leftcert=StrongSwanHostCert.pem
right=%any
rightsourceip=172.16.0.1
auto=add 



and added the below top 2 postrouting nat rules:
 pkts bytes target     prot opt
in     out     source               destination         
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  
--  *      *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0            policy
match dir out pol ipsec
    0     0 MASQUERADE  all  
--  *      enp0s31f6  172.16.0.1           0.0.0.0/0           
24519 1646K MASQUERADE  all  
--  *      ppp0    192.168.1.0/24       0.0.0.0/0           


However when I attempt to ping, I see the ping on the ppp0 interface,
and the source isn't 172.16.0.1:
2018-07-25 18:26:37.085194521      8.0.0.1 → 192.168.1.1 ICMP 100 Echo
(ping) request  id=0x0004, seq=1/256, ttl=64


Not exactly sure where to go next.  I did install the extra plugins
that include farp as well.  Thank you.

James
