iptables v1.4.14: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)

Question

I\'m trying to set iptable rules, and I got following error message when I use iptable :

iptables v1.4.14: can\'t initialize iptables table `nat\': Table doe         


        

Answer 1

On OpenSUSE 15.3 systemd log reported this error (insmod suggestion was unhelpful).

Feb 18 08:36:38 vagrant-openSUSE-Leap dockerd[20635]: iptables v1.6.2: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)

REBOOT fixed the problem
