Kernel side xfrm code does work; been a couple of years since I tried
it. As I recall strongswan needs an update.

Looking at the 'ip xfrm' based scripts, you need to add 'sel dev ${VRF}'
to the state. eg.,

VRF="sel dev blue"

ip xfrm state add src ${REMIP} dst ${MYIP} \
    proto esp spi 0x02122b77 reqid 0 mode tunnel \
    replay-window 4 replay-oseq 0x4 \
    auth-trunc 'hmac(md5)' 0xd94fcfea65fddf21dc6e0d24a0253508 96 \
    enc 'cbc(des3_ede)' 0xfc46c20f8048be9725930ff3fb07ac2a91f0347dffeacf62 \
    ${VRF}
