I am not able to load iptables module (ip_tables). What can I do now?
Appreciate any kind of suggestion.

You have to logs at apf -t on your server
Unable to load iptables module (ip_tables), aborting
Then your kernel is compiled with iptables statically instead of as a module, and you will require to modify this in the /etc/apf/conf.apf
MONOKERN=”0″ Set it to “1″
So open /etc/apf/conf.apf file and modify it restart the apf service and you wont see that error.
Enjoy..

I noticed from my search, that from all the way back from 2004 my issue has been raised but as a newbbie to apf I am wondering if someone could guide me through the process as I am fighting DDOS attacks.

Issue: Apf was successfully installed and the iptabes are also on my server but not sure how to have apf read them. /usr/includes/linux/netfilter_ipv4.

apf -s
error: lsmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented Unable to load iptables module ip_tables aborting.

I have seen this so many times and people are saying OK fix but there is example of what they did.

I have set MONOKERN="0" to 1 and 0 its the same issue when I try to start apf -s

I folow all of the steps to install apf but I think my problem is setting the right parameter in conf.apf for the iptables.
