I'm also experiencing a similar issue using RKE2 and kube-proxy (see https://github.com/rancher/rke2/issues/7438).

Likely the errors refer to the rules on lines 4 or 5 above. Interesting that only ip6tables rule triggers the error, while iptables apparently passes correctly. These rules are used to force all the traffic on certain local proxy servers to go through a VPN interface. They are located in the interface .conf file, so they are applied automatically when the interface is set up (and now this fails making the VPN interface to not load). Everything worked OK on nvidia kernel versions 1023 and before. Everything still works on another machine running the mainline (generic) kernel.
