Hi,
I have setup an IPSec gateway on a virtual instance in a VPC using
a cloud provider. The cloud provider has Elastic IPs that aren't
attached to any network interface on the virtual instance so
strongSwan uses NAT-T. Also I need to do SNAT/DNAT for mapping my
side of the subnet that is advertised to my VPN peer.
I have found that this setup causes very frequent TCP checksum
failures. There are so frequent that an HTTP request fails ~50% of
the time because TCP connect times out. It would be great if
anyone who has faced something similar before can help me
understand what is happening and how it can be avoided.
Here is an image of the setup I have:
