Eh? Openswan can be used as client and as server for nat-t. We always try
to make openswan a full peer on the net with support for both ends. Openswan
is not a server, nor a client. It is a full peer.

That is why you use %any and a combination of either virtual_private or
subnetwithin syntax. To bind the outer IP (any) with the inner ip (the virtual
private or subnetwithin)
