You still need to open the correct ports as well create the proper DNAT
and SNAT rules.

Here's what you need to open up:
1) IKE to and from your IPSec gateway. something like:
iptables -p udp -s 0/0 --sport 500 -d 192.168.1.10 --dport 500 -j ACCEPT
iptables -p udp -s 192.168.1.10 --sport 500 -d 0/0 --dport 500 -j ACCEPT

2) Protocol 50 (ESP) to and from the gateway
iptables -p 50 -d 192.168.1.10 -j ACCEPT
iptables -p 50 -s 192.168.1.10 -j ACCEPT

Again, make sure your clients are not negotiating Authentication Header
(AH). If you try the above and you log drops to protocol 51, AH is being
negotiated.
