Alpine Linux should default to nf_tables backend
Alpine linux commands such as "iptables" currently point to the "legacy" variants.
I inquired about this a year ago but never got an answer.
Alpine Linux should default to the nf_tables
variants ie iptables-nft
.
It's now expected by things like libvirtd, docker, podman etc that you'll have the nf_tables
backend.
Worth noting upstream Netfilter team doesn't support legacy any more. Both Debian, and other major distributions all default to the nf_tables
.
@Ikke does currently say that awall depends on the legacy framework, perhaps it should be updated.
