I need to install some iptable ruels to block traffic that originates from a certain country, I found this script example on http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/block-entier-country-using-iptables/ it works great on another host I have but on this one (an embedded box) I get: ./iptable_rules.sh modprobe: module ip_tables not found in modules.depiptables v1.4.16.3: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.Now upgrading the kernel due to the nature of the device, is not an option. Does anyone know a way I can get around this? This system running on kernel 3.2.34
iptables - why do I get Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
kernel;iptables;firewall
You should be able to re-compile it using something to the similar commands.make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linuxmake install KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linuxmake depmake bzIamgemakemake installmake modulesSource: iptables: Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
