It appears that apf doesn't load RAB on the (ve) Server due to the way that it checks for ipt_recent. This is easily circumvented by making a change in the following file.

/etc/apt-firewall/internal/functions.apf

Then, find the following line: 

if [ "$RAB" == "1" ] && [ ! -f "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_recent.$MEXT" ]; then

And change it to: 

if [ "$RAB" == "1" ] && [ `grep -c "recent" /proc/net/ip_tables_matches` == "0" ]; then

This will properly check for the ipt_recent module, and allow RAB to load.
