The connection failed to load. Try: ipsec auto --add teste to get the
actual error, or check the logs for the error on why it failed to load
the conn. Try removing rightnexthop-%defaultroute (the disadvantage of
google, once people started trying it more people are trying it, and it
is at best not needed and at worst causing problems)
