nftables

• nftables wiki
• Adoption
• Debian wiki

You should consider using a wrapper instead of writing your own firewalling scripts. It is recommended to run firewalld, which integrates pretty well into the system.

Packages that still depend on iptables

• podman
• tailscale

Usage

• Quick reference-nftables in 10 minutes
• Configuring tables

List all tables:

nft list tables

List rules in chain:

nft list table ip filter

Flush all rules in table:

nft flush table ip filter

Migration

• Moving from iptables to nftables

Kubernetes

Still no support for nftables, blocking OAS to use nftables:

• kubernetes
• docker

• from the Calico 3.8.2 release notes:

  calico can run on systems which use iptables in nft compatibility mode …

  OAS / rancher / k8s 14.3 use calico 3.4
