Ratelimit IPs for UDP traffic in ipset list before being sent over GRE tunnel
I am using nat DNAT to forward traffic on a certain port to another Centos server over a GRE tunnel however I want to rate limit a bunch of datacenter IPs I have in a ipset list 'blacklist'. So that the traffic outputted to the tunnel is rate limited.
I have tried rate limiting in all FORWARD, INPUT and OUTPUT lists however the rate limit does not work at all in any of them - maybe the nat DNAT bypasses it?.
iptables -A INPUT -m set --match-set blacklist src -p udp --dport 30000 -m hashlimit --hashlimit 10/min --hashlimit-name ratelimithash -j DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -m set --match-set blacklist src -p udp --dport 30000 -m hashlimit --hashlimit 10/min --hashlimit-name ratelimithash -j DROP
iptables -A OUTPUT -m set --match-set blacklist src -p udp --dport 30000 -m hashlimit --hashlimit 10/min --hashlimit-name ratelimithash -j DROP
If I add the list to drop via 'iptables -A OUTPUT -m set --match-set blacklist src -j DROP' it stops all traffic, so my IP ipset list is working just not the rate limiting, anyone able to help out?

It seems this was the better rule - stops the traffic before going over the GRE tunnel over the limit

-hashlimit-srcmask 24 - to group the incoming traffic into /24 groups
