While installing APF on your VPS you get the following error :
apf(28442): {glob} status log not found, created
apf(28463): {glob} flushing & zeroing chain policies
apf(28463): {glob} firewall offline
apf(28500): {glob} activating firewall
apf(28551): {glob} unable to load iptables module (ip_tables), aborting.
apf(28500): {glob} firewall initalized
apf(28500): {glob} !!DEVELOPMENT MODE ENABLED!! – firewall will flush every 5 minutes.
You need to configure the APF for your VPS.
nano -w /etc/apf/conf.apf
modify
to
Restart APF
apf -r
Now you will be able to complete apf installation fine

# lsmod
