This error means you local ot network firewall blocks GRE packets, so if you are using Fedora just do this:

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --direct --add-rule ipv4 filter INPUT 0 -p gre -j ACCEPT
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --direct --add-rule ipv6 filter INPUT 0 -p gre -j ACCEPT (if you are using IPV6)
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
