Regarding the other issue I mentioned in passing having to do with ease of reading and editing the tables. This is the contents of /etc/nftables.conf:
#!/usr/sbin/nft -f
flush ruleset
table inet filter {
chain input {
type filter hook input priority 0;
}
chain forward {
type filter hook forward priority 0;
}
chain output {
type filter hook output priority 0;
}
}
This is the output of iptables -L:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
I must say I like the second one better. But of course that is somewhat beside the point. I much prefer a GUI for editing the tables. I haven't found a good one, but hopefully Webmin will have a decent one soon.

Iptables File & Directory
Re: Iptables File & Directory
By the way, does the nft command have to be installed, or is it supposed to come automatically with any OS that uses nftables? I know it is not installed on my Debian 10.
Re: Iptables File & Directory
Oops. My mistake. Nft is installed in Debian 10 by default. However, it may not be in some other distros based on Debian, such as Raspian.
