When using right=%any, you cannot use auto=start, because you do not know where "any" is. So the other endpoints need to initiate to you.

If you want to avoid leaking unencrypted packets before those endpoints initiate you, you can either an iptables or an ipsec based block rule.

Using iptables:

iptables -A OUTPUT -s 192.168.10.130/32 -d 192.168.10.127/30 -m policy --dir out --pol ipsec -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -s 192.168.10.130/32 -d 192.168.10.127/30 -m policy --dir out --pol none -j DROP

To do the same within ipsec, you could do:

conn block-plain
 	left=192.168.10.130
 	right=%any
 	rightsubnet=192.168.10.127/30
 	type=drop
 	authby=never
 	auto=route
 	# low priority so tunnels win when up
 	priority=6000
