Error applying iptable rules.

iptable v1.4.10:
cant inialize iptable 'Filter':
Table need no exist(Do you need insmod?) perhaps iptables or your kernel need to be upgraded.

  • droidwall requires a rooted device. Have you installed a rooted emulator AVD? – iagreen Dec 20 '12 at 05:55
  • i followed the http://allencch.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/learn-to-root-android-using-emulator/ link and manage to get rooted emulator , using rootcheckpro.apk verified the root and it shows device is rooted – user1107689 Dec 20 '12 at 06:13
  • My guess is you need to add iptables to your AVD. I am not sure how to do that, but you can look through [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4577268/iptables-in-android) for possible answers. – iagreen Dec 20 '12 at 07:02

Droidwall is an app that processes iptables , sets rules and chains to control network permissions to app in the android device. It needs root access to set rules to iptables . So, your device must be rooted for the purpose. Emulators dont have root privilages and so you cant run droidwall on it.

  • There are methods of getting a [rooted AVD](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731095). – iagreen Dec 20 '12 at 06:04
