ip6_tables: disagrees about version of symbol xt_compat_match_from_user
This error occurs due to unmatching versions of the kernel and its modules. Usually this means that you have upgraded your kernel but have not rebooted your Droplet after doing so. Try rebooting your Droplet and seeing if you still receive the same error.
