nft

Allows configuration of tables, chains and rules provided by the Linux kernel firewall.

Nftables replaces iptables.

More information.

• View current configuration:

sudo nft list ruleset

• Add a new table with family "inet" and table "filter":

sudo nft add table {inet} {filter}

• Add a new chain to accept all inbound traffic:

sudo nft add chain {inet} {filter} {input} \{ type {filter} hook {input} priority {0} \; policy {accept} \}

• Add a new rule to accept several TCP ports:

sudo nft add rule {inet} {filter} {input} {tcp} {dport \{ telnet, ssh, http, https \} accept}

• Add a NAT rule to translate all traffic from the `192.168.0.0/24` subnet to the host's public IP:

sudo nft add rule {nat} {postrouting} ip saddr {192.168.0.0/24} {masquerade}

• Show rule handles:

sudo nft --handle --numeric list chain {family} {table} {chain}

sudo nft delete rule {inet} {filter} {input} handle {3}
