Mobian Firewall from iptables to nftables

[MicSpabo]

Hi,

my pinephone mobian CE is installed on emmc with FDE. The Mobian Doku tells me in the chapter "Firewall", that the current technology would be nftables.

I installed all available updates, but when I check the installed packages, my Mobian is still based on iptables.

# apt policy nftables
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 0.9.8-3

# apt policy iptables
    Installed: 1.8.7-1

I received my pinephone two weeks ago and used the installer as it came with.
Do I have to flash a newer Image to start with nftables instead of iptables?

As iptables is not configured jet.
# echo -e "\nIPv4:" && iptables -nvL && echo -e "\nIPv6:" && ip6tables -nvL && echo " "
  IPv4:
    Chain INPUT  (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
    Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
    Chain OUTPUT  (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
  IPv6:
    Chain INPUT  (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
    Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
    Chain OUTPUT  (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)

I tried to replace it, but it seems to be impossible,-
# apt -s remove --purge  iptables
  The following packages will be REMOVED:
    iptables* mobian-base* mobian-phone-base* mobian-phosh-base* mobian-phosh-extras* mobian-phosh-phone*
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
as that whould remove the phones GUI as well.

In the moment it looks to me that I could just disable and mask iptables and install and enable nftables.

Did I miss some documentation? Any ideas are appreciated.

Keep well and fit,
MicSpabo
