recap from irc: one fix would be to negate the vpn-subnet in the source part of your dnat rule.

@EwaldvanGeffen real setup now inactive, i will try to recreate similar setup

It's a classic issue. You need to create rules with "exclude" option for such networks.

The question is where is the line between sensible defaults and trying to outsmart the user. Some people want their traffic to be NATed before IPsec kicks in, for example to fix subnet conflicts, or make a fixup for double NAT.
