[strongSwan] ESP over 4500/UDP for IPv6 on Windows 10?

Hi folks,

To work around some sites having problems with ESP over IPv6 I had
disabled ESP by setting

	forceencaps = yes

in ipsec.conf on my gateway. It worked fine for MacOS, iphones and
Linux, but many Windows users (if not all) were offline. Is this as
expected? Is there a hidden checkbox somewhere in Windows 10 to
optionally enable ESP over 4500/UDP?

https://docs.strongswan.org/docs/5.9/features/natTraversal.html
mentions that the whole NAT-T thing is optional, without giving
more specific details.


Every insightful comment is highly appreciated
