No, 108.x.x.x is the access point in my home. The 198.168.x.x is the subnet to
which the VM is attached. OVS is running in the VM.
The GRE packet arriving at 108.x.x.x cannot reach OVS in 192.168.x.x unless
forwarded using DNAT.
The router at 108.x.x.x does not support GRE.

I don't understand why you are using NAT here. Isn't 108 the subnet
of the GRE endpoint and 192.168 the subnet of the host inside the
tunnel?
