You are low on your conntrack limit. Increase it by doing:

echo 16384 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max

Then add to your /etc/sysctl.conf:

#Set ip_conntrack_max
net.ipv4.ip_conntrack_max = 16384

so it gets set on each reboot. An increased max eats up a bit more RAM but you likely 
won't notice.
