Hi, After a system reboot, iptables doesn’t start automatically. However, if I restart/start the Service from the GUI, it starts correctly. Any idea why this happens or how to make it work consistently on all reboots?
It looks like the iptables service isn’t starting automatically after a system reboot, even though it starts fine when triggered manually via the GUI. This might be related to how system services are being initialized during boot.
To help with this, try adding the following settings to your /etc/sysctl.conf file:
nano /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1
vm.overcommit_memory = 1
Once you’ve saved the file, apply the changes by running:
sysctl -p
Then, reboot the system and check if iptables and BIND start as expected.
Let me know how it goes, or if you encounter any issues during the process.

Thanks, that worked perfectly <3
Btw, I didn’t installed BIND since I don’t need a custom DNS nameserver.
