Is it possible to install the iptables nat module for VPS hosting
I would like to use the iptables nat table to add pre and post routing rules.
When running iptables -t nat -L I get the error:
can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
When running
modprobe iptable_nat
I get the error:
Module iptable_nat not found.
Its actually a kernel module, are we allowed to add to the kernel modules? Normally its there to modprobe but since it was not there I didn't know if it was restricted. I'll reach out to technical support.
I checked with some of the senior Support Technicians, and modprobe should be working on most VPSs. It sounds like it is going to come down to a configuration issue on your particular VPS, and in that case I would suggest submitting a verified support ticket so someone with authorization to log in to your server directly can find out what is going on.
