There is a bug in the strongswan networkmanager plugin in the 16.04 LTS Version of Ubuntu:

You need to build and install the latest version of network-manager-strongswan plugin to get a connection.

SOLVED:

You should specify 0.0.0.0/0 for rightsubnet for windows config, the Windows IPsec client isn't "smart enough" to handle split tunneling.

if you install dnsmasq and put this in the /etc/dnsmasq.conf

dhcp-vendorclass=set:msipsec,MSFT 5.0
dhcp-range=tag:msipsec,172.16.16.0,static
dhcp-option=tag:msipsec,6
dhcp-option=tag:msipsec,249, 0.0.0.0/1,0.0.0.0, 128.0.0.0/1,0.0.0.0

it adds two static routes on windows clients. The routes are 0.0.0.0/1 witch is the first half of the ipv4 address range and 128.0.0.0/1 witch is the second half.

For some reason you can't just do 0.0.0.0/0 but you have to divide it into two ranges.
I'm assuming windows ignores /0 because static routes are not meant to act as a default gateway
