Hi everyone,

I have a newly provisioned machine and for the life of me, I can't get
iptables working. Here is the error:

# iptables -L
iptables v1.6.1: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does
not exist (do you need to i
nsmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
ip_tables              24576  0

I see the same error after manually modprobing iptable_filter:

# modprobe iptable_filter
# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
iptable_filter         16384  0
ip_tables              24576  1 iptable_filter

I've also tried building it into the kernel, with no luck. On the
userspace-side I've went as far is doing a full "emerge -e iptables".
I tried upgrading to iptables-1.8 too. I also tried upgrading kernel
headers to match the version of the kernel I'm currnetly running.
Nothing I do can get it to work.

# uname -r
4.18.18

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

P.S. Below are my related kernel settings. I tried to make them all
built-in, but that didn't work.
