Can't use IPTables inside a VE - still broken [message #11904]

Hi All...

I'm running Debian Etch AMD64 with kernel 2.6.18. I am unable to use IPTables inside a VPS. IPTables seems to work fine on the HN. If I try to use IPTables inside a VPS I see this:

Quote:

vps1001:/# iptables -t nat -L -v --line-number
iptables v1.2.11: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

I looked at the wiki entry for using NAT with VE for private IPs here:

http://wiki.openvz.org/Using_NAT_for_VE_with_private_IPs

But it was not much help.

Is it possible to use IPTables inside a VPS and if so, what am I missing? Thanks.

Hi,

kernel iptables_nat module is loaded in VE0 (HN) ...?
VE0_# lsmod | grep ^iptable_nat

when not load it:
VE0_# modprobe iptable_nat

# enable iptable_nat in VE
VE0_# vzctl set <VEID> --iptables iptable_nat --save

# restart your VE
VE0_# vzctl restart <VEID>

# check it
VE0_# vzctl exec <VEID> iptables -t nat -L -v --line-number

Thanks Thorsten, that did it!

The only anomoly was that it refused to make the changes while the VPS was running, so I just put it down, made the change then started it.

Thanks very much! Maybe I'll make a wiki entry on that, once I review it a bit more.

Well, as it turns out, this worked to get the list of chains to work, but I am unable to add rules. Here is the error I get when I try:

# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 72.46.65.43 -p tcp --dport 43 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 10043
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

I get the same thing if I try for the filters table:

# iptables -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp -d 72.46.65.43 --dport 43 -j DNAT --to 72.46.65.43:10043
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

I did a little searching and found another thread with this problem:

http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=8384&#m sg_8384

I tried:

# modprobe xt_tcpudp
# modprobe ip_conntrack ip_conntrack_enable_ve0=1

That didn’t work. I then ran:

# depmode –a

But that didn’t help either. And I restarted the VPS after each step.

I am now running the latest Debian AMD64 kernel (Dated April 10):

2.6.18-openvz-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 10 19:34:07 MSD 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks very much...

Not sure (worked for me) but I think if you want to do REDIRECT you need to make sure that iptables module is loaded. Edit:

/etc/vz/vz.conf
IPTABLES="ipt_REDIRECT ....."

/etc/sysconfig/iptables-config
IPTABLES_MODULES="ipt_REDIRECT ....."

After I did that I could run my rule of

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 2525 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 25
