Introduction
+

nftables stores firewall rules in tables. Each table belongs to a family (such as inet, ip, or ip6) and contains one or more chains. Chains contain rules, and each rule is a sequence of tests (matches) followed by an action like accept, drop, jump, or log. Named sets can group addresses or services for reuse in multiple rules.

+

To get started, use the Setup page to create a default ruleset, or create a table and chain manually. Then add rules (and sets) from the table view. When you are ready to activate your changes, click Apply Configuration to load the ruleset into the kernel.
