> BTW your assumption

I did not assume. The comment to which I was responding suggested it was the destination IP that was the problem. Generally (but not always) an IP filter would be applied irrespective of protocol. I also pointed out that the initial SYN and reply SYN/ACK are getting through the hypothesized bogon filter and those are part of TCP. I don't think the bogon filter is a hypothesis that fits the evidence.

ETA: but adding connection state tracking + a filter does make sense https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39822214

I've never seen this (all protocols by default) in any environment I've personally worked with, but perhaps I've had a unique experience.
