There probably was an error restoring the iptables rules. Check
"systemctl status iptables"

"systemctl enable multi-user.target" will switch the default target to
multi-user.target

You get this error because you're running systemd v189 and have
forward-secure log sealing enabled (which is the default), but no
sealing keys exist.

Either disable sealing in "/etc/systemd/journald.conf" or generate
sealing keys using "journalctl --setup-keys".
