Compare the pair ('allow ssh traffic' for the least shitty linux firewall 'nftables' versus openbsd's 'pf'):
nftables (on alpine linux, each rule in a separate file for some crazy reason):
#!/usr/sbin/nft -f
table inet filter {

}
pf:
pass in proto tcp to port 22In conversation from swarm.coiloptic.org permalink -
