I am getting an error when I attempt to start my OpenVPN server. The error message appears to be saying there is a bad rule in the iptables ruleset.
The error message is as follows:
Error:

service failed to start due to unresolved dependencies: set(['iptables_openvpn'])

I’m embarrassed to say that I can’t even work out where the iptables rules for OpenVPN are saved so as to take a look at line 109. Can anyone point me in the right direction or give any other advice?
The server is running in an Ubuntu Docker container running on a headless Arch box. The container accesses the local subnet directly via MACVLAN. Previously the set up has worked fine - I can’t think of any configuration changes (eg firewall rule changes on the host server) that could be responsible.
Any help appreciated!
