My bad, I can see IPIP with a wider tcpdump filter. Flow is like:
ens3: DIP -> RIP (proto IPIP)
tunl0: CIP -> VIP
ens3: VIP -> CIP (length 0)

It does like a SYN+ACK. Application on the real-server I'm using to test is
a simple 'python3 -m http.server', which responds to curl on RIP:8000 but
not on VIP:8000.

ISP filtering is the most likely cause of this problem, although they say
otherwise.

I couldn't get the 'traceroute -n -s VIP CIP' command (how-to Q.3) to work,
because the traceroute package on real-server's Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't
support the '-s' (source IP) argument.
