Suggestion: update README with what is currently working for iptables/nftables & examples with iptables/nftables

[Niles-dev]

Hello,

Thank you for this project ! I Saw your presentations and I'm interested in this project as this seems to bridge the gap between sysadmins/netadmins (I am) and Software engineers who brings more performance for Linux filtering !

I'm currently trying to reproduce an example with some rules and it's not working and I'm not sure if this is because that is not (yet) implemented or if my build setup is wrong. Would it be possible to add a section on the README file with what is working and not working for iptables/nftables ?

Also an example of an iptables/nftables rule add/suppression would be greatly appreciated for starters :)

Thank you.

Hi @Niles-dev

I thought I answered to this issue already, but apparently not, sorry for the confusion!

I've updated bpfilter's usage documentation yesterday. It's far from complete, but some features (e.g. removing a rule from iptables) require more testing before I can add them to the doc.

I'll keep this issue open until the documentation is sufficient (as subjective as it is).

This issue is now tracked by #189 which is part of the bpfilter's roadmap for H1 2025. Closing.
