-m string of iptables in OpenVZ

[johnlth93]

Hi all vpsBoard members =)

I wanted to ask if that the -m string is not supported by OpenVZ?

I am using bunch of VPS with OpenVZ and i found out that those i've tested on doesn't support such parameter -m string where as i will get "no chain/target/match by that name" whenever i tried to enter such iptables rules.

Please let me know if it's true.

Thanks,

John Lee

Sounds like a module just isn't loaded up.

Does that mean i can request provider to enable the module? Because from what i see lot of provider doesn't have that.

Looks to me that it's the MASQUERADE module not loaded? I'd toss your provider a ticket and give them the full error message and means to repeat it, if it is just a module not loaded it's a super easy fix.
