Is there a reason your using auto=route? For a connection like yours
Where you have static ip's on both sides, I would use auto=start.
Which will start the connection at pluto start. Also rekey=yes to keep
It up. For some reason everyone is trying auto=route lately, but start
Works much better for 99% of connections.
