Yes, when nf_conntrack is used it would be better to
set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/vs/conntrack to 1, as reported by different
users, for example:
https://marc.info/?t=134728825000003&r=1&w=2
In this case, you have to increase nf_conntrack_max sysctl var
to allow the desired number of conntracks to be created.
Another option is to use NOTRACK to disable nf conntracks just for
the IPVS traffic:
iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d VIP --dport VPORT -j CT --notrack
For local clients use -A OUTPUT -o lo
