I wrote 6502 assembly code and hand-assembled it way back when. I was very glad to get my hands on an assembler and a computer with enough ram to run it.

I'm lazy. I use a front end precisely so I don't have to learn nftables in all its complexity. I suggest you look at firewalld and its two front ends, firewalld-config (GUI) and firewall-cmd (command line). As an extra added bonus, it integrates nicely with Network Manager. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
