Ver 1.4.17 Error Appending Prerouting

Ver 1.4.17 Error Appending Prerouting

[Roman Gelfand]

I have installed iptables ver 1.4.17 on debian squeeze where current
iptables version is 1.4.8. The kernel version is 2.6.32-5-686.

After running the following statements, I get the error below.

modprobe ip_gre
modprobe ip_tables
modprobe x_tables


/usr/local/sbin/iptables -t tproxy -A PREROUTING -i wccp0 -p tcp -m
tcp --dport 80 -j TPROXY --on-port 3228
/usr/local/sbin/iptables -t tproxy -A PREROUTING -i wccp0 -p tcp -m
tcp --dport 443 -j TPROXY --on-port 3229

Why am I getting the following error:

iptables v1.4.17: can't initialize iptables table `tproxy': Table does
not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.


Thanks in advance

The message is self-explanatory : there is no such table "tproxy".

From man iptables :
   TPROXY
       This target is only valid in the *mangle* table [...]
