Nyr OpenVPN warrior installer issue

cafedelmar

Good day.

I'm having an issue with @Nyr warrior installer with fresh VPS on Ubuntu 18. I ran "touch /option.netfilter "and the file got renamed to netfilter.enabled, but there's still this message:

Unable to initialize the iptables/netfilter NAT table, setup can't continue.
If you are a LowEndSpirit customer, see here: https://git.io/nfLES
If you are getting this message on any other provider, ask them for support.

It used to work fine after the "touch" command, but now it doesn't work again. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it working?

Thanks.

Did you stop/start the VPS from Solus?

cafedelmar

I rebooted, yes. Start/stopped just a second ago to make sure. Same issue.

thats otherwise the first step to do after changes are applied to the VPS.
1. change the config.
2. stop the VPS
3. start the VPS

since you already have tried those things, I'm tagging @AnthonySmith

Yes, I was getting same issue on Debian, UK. I reinstalled to CentOs & it solved.

I believe it's a NAT product. The location is Netherlands.

"minivps10107"

NAT in UK. I think it is not location specific bt happens in debian 10 template.

Or also ubuntu.

Ok so I found the issue

# iptables
-bash: iptables: command not found

Solution:

apt-get install iptables.

You don't have that issue on centos because it cant be separated from the minimal app set without causing dependency issues.

When I make minimal templates... i make minimal templates

Everything is so easy when you know what you're doing Thanks a lot @AnthonySmith !

InceptionHosting

No worries, to be honest in hindsight I probably should have included that at least.

Nyr

I've added this information to the documentation.

That's really minimal indeed, first time I've seen a template without iptables.

Thanks all for the troubleshooting before I could even read this.

I am now facing the same error message with a non-NAT, OpenVZ7 VPS with InceptionHosting. Fresh Debian 9 install, iptables installed, TUN/TAP activated, server stopped and started. Same error message. Any ideas, folks?

Option.netfilter ?

Amitz

@AnthonySmith ?

mikho

@Amitz you create the file and the vps will reboot.

Hope it helps

Amitz

I thought I tried that without success. But I will try again!

Amitz

Installation works now, thanks @mikho!
I could have sworn that I did that step before...

InceptionHosting

the good news is no new containers will need i I have automated it now
