! Commands

There are many commands, see all with
{{{
> ls -la /usr/sbin/ip*  # see all command symolic
> iptables*             # for ipv4 (in debian busters = nft)
> ip6tables*            # for ipv6 (in debian busters = nft)
> iptables-legacy       # former ones, not nft
> iptables-nft          # directly use nft
}}}
Notes:
* all iptables commands (for ipv4) have an ip__6__tabbles* equivalent (for ipv6)
* see [info|https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2020/08/18/iptables-the-two-variants-and-their-relationship-with-nftables#using_iptables_nft] on nft

! Python
* package python3-iptables manages legacy ones only
* package "python3-nftables" manages nft tables
* alternatively you can use subprocess.run to call the original system commands

import nftables
