    i have read somewhere you know using NAT , private addresses matched to public address...

    and assume if you are home and require to go to internet and NAT is implemented on your modem...
    with this, your private address doesn't appear to outside.

    Then IPSec is used for encrypting data . If you use NAT ,you can not apply IPsec why not?

    hm , can't ipsec use local address of the gateway as an end point? is it a must to use
    private address of the source (real source)?

    It cant see the local address of the endpoint, you need to use the WAN IP address.
