nftables support was not included in Raspbian Stretch (unlike Debian Stretch) unfortunately. Cf. this ticket: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2177 many thanks for the reference, I will go there for any further discussion, or complaining to the package maintainers and devs. I wish they h...

And those examples I tested might not use the "tables" functionality of Netfilter. Those are nftables rules files, and the nft command is frontend for nftables, so I think that should exercise it. After I got on a similar version to you I still don't have the kernel mod nf_tables. While there is no...

I have nfnetlink also, do you not have the module nf_tables? My laptop computer has nf_tables kernel module loaded to support nftables. $ zcat /proc/conifig.gz | grep NF_TABLES # CONFIG_NF_TABLES is not set I _think_ shows that the kernel was built without the options NF_TABLES set and cannot be use...

Has anyone gotten nftables working on raspberry pi? I am having a lot of trouble. nftables seems to install from apt-get alright (the nft command runs) but all nft command operations fail, e.g. $ sudo nft -f /etc/nftables/inet-filter /etc/nftables/inet-filter:3:1-2: Error: Could not add table: Inval...

Where might I get an old version of Raspbian to test if this is reproducible there? http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/ Thanks, I should have thought of that. I tested a September 2013 image and got the same results, so I think it is safe to assume that it is not the fault of a new ve...

You can try following command sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart Please share your result, so we can understand the problem. Thanks I wasn't very explicit in the OP, but I meant that I have no monitor to access the pi directly, thus I cannot access the terminal. Otherwise I would have posted resul...

For various reason I do not have access to a compatible monitor, so I am attempting to set up Raspbian on Raspberry Pi model B (I think...it says "2011.12" on the board and has a built-in ethernet interface). I wrote current Raspbian do a previously working SD card using dd. (I once booted a much ol...
