Wow! After delving into IPSec strongSwan rekeying, I now know that the initial 'data key' (Child SA) is like a quick handshake with no fancy secret exchange (PFS) (RTFM! [1]). However, for rekeys, it's full secret agent handshake mode! Writing the GitHub bug report, which turned out not to be a bug, helped me to understand my situation better. [2] Finally migrated to the new IPSEC connection setup in OPNsense and updated my blog post. [3]

(Now I expect to get answers, aka 'Use WireGuard!')
