Hi, Is there some doc about setting up a basic iptables firewall inside a VE? I can't find one... Regards, Ugo
More precisely, I get this error: iptables v1.2.11: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. 2.6.9-023stab040.1 In vz.conf: IPTABLES="ipt_REJECT ipt_tos ipt_limit ipt_multiport iptable_filter iptable_mangle ipt_TCPMSS ipt_tcpmss ipt_ttl ipt_length" in the VEID.conf file: IPTABLES="iptable_nat" (I also tried with nothing). No iptables rules active on VE0 (host). Thanks,
Helly, Very probably required iptables kernel modules are not loaded: you should load these modules in VE0 before starting the VE in question. HTH, Vasily.

http://kb.swsoft.com/article_130_875_en.html That article might help you, I used it to install APF on my VPS's. It is made for Virtuozzo, but it works on OpenVZ.
Oh, I've just noticed that your veid.conf file contents only "iptable_nat"! It's not enough for iptables! Note, also, that parameters from vz.conf and veid.conf are note concatinated - they only replace each other. So in your VE only iptable_nat is allowed. I suggest you to add all required modules to veid.conf file. Vasily.
