That's a static site-to-site "how to". It doesn't describe road warrior use, using the newer, easier-to-configure ipsec.conf and ipsecctl(8).

For site-to-site VPN, as shown in that how to -- the admin sets up two gateways with static addresses. For "road warrior" VPN setup, the admin configures "any" rather than static IP addresses, and typically uses ike passive mode for the VPN gateway.

(I'm using IPSec, but only for WiFi on a local LAN with static addresses.)
