Hello,
I have 2 endpoints with 2 IP addresses on the each side. I established 2  
connections between them with the same policy to make failover with main  
and backup link.
Incoming traffic goes through one link but outgoing through the another  
one. This should not be a problem but it is

It looks like this:
conn1: #197, ESTABLISHED, IKEv2, 482f9b76fa33814b_i 28d890a8f075c0dc_r*
   local  '1.1.1.1' @ 1.1.1.1[500]
   remote '2.2.2.2' @ 2.2.2.2[500]
   AES_CBC-256/HMAC_SHA2_256_128/PRF_HMAC_SHA2_256/MODP_1024
   established 7s ago

   remote '4.4.4.4' @ 4.4.4.4[4500]

     local  10.8.1.2/32
     remote 172.20.1.233/32

Is there any way to set up priority for SA or make them work together?


ipsec.conf:
