thankyou for replying to my post first of all.
i dont have much experience with running servers. i have learn it from google and some youtube video.
the way i was hosting is from this guy video. "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njixD_aOp3c".
I currently own 2 VPS from different companies.
using this way i was able to run vpn server without any issue on first VPS. but on second when i tried the same way. i got that error i have mention above in my post.
if someone can guide or help me that would be great.
i dont know much about these stuff.

thanks

This error is caused by the system being unable to load certain kernel modules related to iptables. This happens with static kernels - a non-default kernel specifically created for a purpose. If possible try to make sure the original kernel that belongs with this OS is being used. It can also happen when the underlying host system does not allow the guest system to load kernel modules. Check documentation of your chosen virtualization solution to learn about this.

Sometimes in rare cases the iptables-save and iptables-restore commands are not present, try checking if those are present by typing iptables-restore for example.
