Dependencies

The following is needed to setup this firewall:

• nftables
• make
• support for nftables, forwarding and conntrack in kernel

And the following to run the optional makeconf.sh script:

• bash version 4+

Because it makes use of bash arrays and integer variables introduced from that version onwards.

Usage

To use this firewall, you must first change the .nft files to suit your setup.

Once you're satisfied, run: make makeconf to generate your nftables.conf.

Run the following command before installing make test so nftables can check for errors.

If there are no errors, you can install and run with make install

You can verify that your new rules are in place with nft list ruleset
