Hi all,
On Raspbian I tried:

	sudo nft add set inet filter blocklist { type inet_proto \; flags timeout \; }
	Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
	add set inet filter blocklist { type inet_proto ; flags timeout ; }
	             ^^^^^^

I have tried all sorts of syntax, but every time that error comes up. Even with “% nft add set ip filter blackhole { type ipv4_addr\;}” from the wiki.
I have an inet table, and in it I want to drop anything coming from @blocklist. Can anyone please hand me the correct syntax, either for command line (sudo nft …) or for a rules file?

Best wishes, stay safe,
Paul

This syntax is fine. The error comes from the kernel. Either no 'inet filter' table exists, or your kernel lacks set functionality.

Thanks.

This morning I had a brainwave, and inserted it into /etc/nftables.conf:

Quoted 17 lines

#!/usr/sbin/nft -f
flush ruleset

table inet filter {

        set blocklist { type inet_proto ; flags timeout ; }

        chain input {
                type filter hook input priority 0;      policy drop;
       }
        chain forward {
                type filter hook forward priority 0;    policy drop;
        }
        chain output {
                type filter hook output priority 0;     policy accept;
        }
Quoted 3 lines

}

include "/etc/nftables/include/*.nft"

Nft accepted it.

Best wishes, stay safe,
Paul
