okay so bestie, listen up β€” this is a page from the Executable programs manual, and it's about a lil command called ipsec-checknflog. it's short, it's sweet, and it makes your firewall rules actually exist. let's get into it. πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

like. that's the whole job. she sets things up so your nflog devices have rules in nftables or iptables. no cap. πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ipsec checknflog connection [--config /etc/ipsec.conf]
                 [--ctlsocket /run/pluto/pluto.ctl]

πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€
