In case it's unclear, enabling a service just means it'll be started at boot. In practice it just creates a symlink as shown above. If you want to start the service manually you do systemctl start nftables.service So if you're experimenting, you edit /etc/nftables.conf and after editing run systemctl restart nftables.service
