Hi,
I have my simple nftables firewall working (thanks to people who have
posted).
However I have one issue, my nftables is not recognising the label
'dns' for port 53, although it is recognising labels for other ports
that I have been using (e.g. ssh, http, ntp, https).
When I checked on the Internet, I find that other people are using the
label 'dns'. I wonder if I am the only one having this issue?
It is not much of an issue, anyway, as it is just as easy to use
numerical port numbers.
Other checks on the Internet show that some people have previously
reported issues with other labels, like ssh, where as I am not.
George.
=============================
On Debian Bookworm headless server (built this morning)
Set rules to use lables (e.g. dns) and not numerical values
# nano /etc/nftables.conf
...
oifname "enp1s0" ct state new udp dport
dns accept
oifname "enp1s0" ct state new tcp dport
{ ssh, dns, http, ntp, https } accept
...
# systemctl restart nftables.service
Job for nftables.service failed because the control process exited
with error code.
See "systemctl status nftables.service" and "journalctl -xeu
nftables.service" for details.
# journalctl -xeu nftables.service
...
The process' exit code is 'exited' and its exit status is 1.

Restarting nftables no longer causes an error report.

Otherwise bogus error reports on set datatype mismatch might occur,
such as:

type IPv4 address
