Had looked at that one - - - - didn't find it very informative.
Suggested the use of firewalld yet that isn't what was actually part of the
system. It may be possible that ufw will also work as a 'kinder' front end
to nftables just as it did for iptables. Found a few posts that suggest that
that is possible but little concrete evidence. Therefore the questions.
