Using iptables in android

[Alpha Jin]

I just wanted to use iptables in android

So I enable NETFILTER in kernel, and build the kernel.

But when I typed "iptables -L" in adb shell.
It always promoted:

iptables v1.3.7: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables
who? (do you
need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Does anyone know what the problem？

thanks!

The dependencies aren't that great... for intance, to do basic
tethering you'll need:

insmod /system/libmodules/nf_conntrack.ko
insmod /system/libmodules/nf_conntrack_ipv4.ko
insmod /system/libmodules/nf_nat.ko
insmod /system/libmodules/x_tables.ko
insmod /system/libmodules/ip_tables.ko
insmod /system/libmodules/xt_multiport.ko
insmod /system/libmodules/iptable_filter.ko
insmod /system/libmodules/iptable_nat.ko
insmod /system/libmodules/ipt_MASQUERADE.ko
insmod /system/libmodules/xt_state.ko

I don't understand, could you please describe it in details?

Thanks!

I think CONFIG_NETFILTER needs to be set in your kernel config.

Those are the modules which are needed to setup the filter table. The
corresponding .config entries:

CONFIG_NETFILTER=y

CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=m
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XTABLES=m
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_CONNTRACK=m
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MULTIPORT=m
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STATE=m

#
# IP: Netfilter Configuration
#
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4=m
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROC_COMPAT=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=m
CONFIG_IP_NF_FILTER=m
CONFIG_NF_NAT=m
