I've got the same problem. FW 5.6.3, NGFW, central SNAT. I want to use policy based ipsec because i need a lot of nat, so it would be easier to use nat in ipsec policy not in central snat table. Is policy based ipsec obsolete?

To do policy based VPN the tunnel cannot be created as an interface tunnel.    Considering the tunnel is not showing up here I am assuming when you created Phase 1 of the tunnel you didn't unselect the Interface Selection.

You can still NAT an interface based IPSec tunnel (in both directions if needed...), you just need to create an IP pool and use that in the policy handling the IPSec tunnel. This is far easier (to me) than d*cking with the old policy based process.

 

My two cents

And to add ,  a rt-based vpn has a interface so you can do anything with it like a vlan interface

 

 

 set a inerface egress SNAT ( over load  masquerading )

 set a  DNAT against it

 management allowaccess

etc....

 

I prefer  rt-based over policy-base
