nftables is the new packet classification framework that replaces iptables


Provides the latest version of nft command-line utility with the intention
of replacing outdated and buggy packages provided by mainline Linux distributions.
For documentation on how to use nftables see https://wiki.nftables.org/

You may want to create a system-wide alias:

 snap alias nftables-pk.nft nft


Quick example (simple packet counter, not hooked to real traffic):

 nft add table inet main
 nft add chain inet main input
 nft add rule inet main input counter accept
 nft list ruleset


If you use snapd older than 2.41 you will need the following after installation:

 snap connect nftables-pk:network-control


Remember to update your nftables scripts to point to /snap/bin/nft and move
your scripts from /etc/nftables to /var/snap/nftables-pk/common.

Since this snap is fully confined, configuration files must be placed
in /var/snap/nftables-pk/common.
