Incloudibly blocks GRE, ICMP, NTP and DNS over UDP
Incloudibly is a Swiss provider, ironically their tagline proclaims "Professional DDoS Protected Web Hosting Solutions". They've been mentioned on LEB and here before. If you get one of your VPS nodes, be aware that you will not be able to use GRE, ICMP, NTP or DNS over UDP. Actually you can do DNS or NTP, but only to a couple of their own servers. I don't think this posture is publicly published anywhere. I couldn't find it anyway and apparently many customers have asked about this. This is information that came from a support inquiry a few moments ago.
This is probably being done as some sort of response to common DDoS attacks. They have no opt-in mechanism to allow anyone to overcome these restrictions. Unfortunately these are core protocols providing some basic functionality and without them this is going to be something much less than full Internet service and may be a non-starter for many. It would be nice if they advertise these limitations, so I put this here for posterity when someone else may be researching them as a provider option.

Yada yada yada - but can I hit port 25 outbound twenty-four/seven?
Well... they put it clearly: they are "web hosting" providers i.e. tcp port 80. Anything beyond that is clearly suspicious to them, as in "smells like something bigger than the webz, some call it the internets".
