Mobian Firewall from iptables to nftables

While Debian is indeed transitioning from iptables to nftables, iptables is still working fine (using nftables under the hood). As you might have seen, iptables is even pulled in by default by the mobian package. So feel free to still use iptables syntax.

I am currently reworking the text to give a brief introduction to a more userfriendly firewall, such as "ufw" which makes configuring firewalls a feasible task for mere mortals.

Hi,

thanks for the background. You might be right with ufw for most of the users.

I already started playing around with nftables on Debian (testing) last year, as I expect it will sooner or later replace iptables.
As the pinephone is brand new I will try and mask iptables, and install nftables instead. So that I have one more
device to play around with the nftables.conf. The next mobian release might bring what I was just looking for.
Time will show.

So far I am quite impressed and I am happy to have nearly the same OS on my laptop as on the mobilephone.

Keep well and fit,
MicSpabo
