Nftables : Enable Service2022/10/06 |
|
This is the Basic Operation of Nftables.
|
|
| [1] | On Ubuntu 22.04, nftables is used as the default UFW backend. |
|
root@dlp:~# update-alternatives --config iptables There are 2 choices for the alternative iptables (providing /usr/sbin/iptables). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ * 0 /usr/sbin/iptables-nft 20 auto mode 1 /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy 10 manual mode 2 /usr/sbin/iptables-nft 20 manual mode Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: |
| [2] | If you use nftables directly, disable UFW service to avoid that the different firewall services influence each other. Furthermore, enable nftables.service that restores filtering ruleset when system restarts. |
