ipset has been integrated into the kernel::

'equery belongs ipset'


so you are just 'enabling' it to work.

Yes, but it's a ton more work::

https://github.com/Olipro/ipset


Note that those files have not been touched in a while. The files
in all capitals are excellent reading to enhance your understanding
of the options. I'd google for additional and newer information on ipset,
until you are comfortable with what you are doing with ipset and sidmat.
Sorry, I have no experience with sidmat directly.
