so you're trying to connect an OVN deployment on one end and a public
cloud on the other.  Looks to me you may need to establish an IPSEC
tunnel yourself.  One end of the tunnel should be
your gateway node in OVN deployment and other end your public cloud.

For North/South gateway traffic to work with OVN,  you need to
configure ovn-bridge-mappings on the gateway node.  OVN will create a
patch port from br-int to the provider ovs bridge (lets say br-ex).
And it is expected that br-ex would be attached with a physical nic
which would provide connectivity to the external.

Seems to me you need to establish the IPSEC tunnel in br-ex as this is
out of OVN's scope.

Thanks
Numan
