| summary | Nftables provides a unified, efficient, and flexible tool for building internet firewalls. It supports both stateless and stateful packet filtering, NAT, transparent proxies, and QoS/policy routing alongside advanced packet manipulation. Unlike older firewall systems, nftables offers a single, consistent syntax, faster transactional rule updates, and more powerful sets and maps. Key features include customizable tables and chains, flexible rules with multiple actions, ingress/egress hooks for early and transmit path filtering, flowtables for performance, and scripting capabilities. |
