Gentoo Linux NFTables

Basic firewall / network router using Gentoo Linux.

After compiling the 4.19.66-gentoo kernel, udev renamed the network interfaces of my home linux Router / Firewall and my iptables setup stopped working due ip-conntrack kernel deprecations. I decided to move over to nftables, the new packet classification framework that replaces the existing {ip,ip6,arp,eb} tables infrastructure.

Even though nftables has been in the Linux kernel since 2014, the documentation is extremely sparse. As such this gist :)

Subjectively, using nftables setting up connections to my machine seems to be more responsive compared to using iptables. Connections seem to be made more quickly and ssh-ing into my machine seems more responsive. There always used to be a bit of a lag when I was using iptables, not anymore.
