Subject: Re: [PATCH] wg-quick: linux: add support for nft and prefer it
Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2019 12:21:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHmME9ooxYz8FDvxmdkLFV-wvwNEopW9eRh45D7=HWY2DWxw1w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <59e3deeb-b615-fc61-0871-c56f20aae67f@gmail.com>

I think in the end we'll ship the nftables code. Fedora is defaulting
their stuff to nftables now [1][2]. That means systemd-networkd might
need or want (speculation) to update their firewall-util.c [3] to
support it. And knowing their attitudes on this sort of thing, that
means they'll probably (speculation) sunset iptables support and start
mandating nftables-enabled kernels. That in turn means non-nftables
kernels will probably become fewer and fewer. Some readers on this
list might vomit at that kind of reasoning, but I think it nonetheless
might reflect a practical reality of the ecosystem that wg-quick(8)
lives in. So at the moment, we'll support both iptables(8) and nft(8),
preferring the latter if it exists.
