PF: Packet Filtering (Open BSD Firewall). Saved you a click there.
I wish there was a "book of nftables" or something like that.
I’ll toss this out there: pf ruined all other firewalls for me. Once you’ve been spoiled by pf.conf, it’s awfully hard to look at any other without running away screaming. Seriously, it’s a joy, like discovering Python after you’ve learned Brainfuck.

I wish Linux’s firewalls were so easy to configure. The closest I’ve found there is with ufw, which isn’t nearly so comprehensive or straightforward, but at least goes in the right direction.

Basic question: Is PF related to ebpf by any chance?
