No, this should be the IP address of the Openswan server itself.

Yes, but presumably for 192.168.23.23.

left=192.168.23.23
leftnexthop=192.168.23.1
leftsubnet=192.168.23.0/24
right=66.27.f.g
rightsubnet=192.168.99.0/24

I'm not sure if this will work but you should get a bit further and
if it does not work the logfile will tell which parameters are required.
