easy firewalling ?

easy firewalling ?

[jordi]

Hi, happy guix newbie  here,

usually i use ufw for easily managing firewalling, adding iptables rules etc... I see there is no ufw package available in guix. Aside
from managing iptables manually, are there other easie alternatives i 	could use in guix ?

Thanks, thanks, thanks

I believe that you need to use iptables or nftables.

I don't think guix supports anything easier.  

The arch wiki has an example config that may work for you:

There is a firewall service that allows opening and closing of ports in
iptables: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48975

It would be great for this to get into Guix, and if there was also an
nftables version.
