Title: nftables systemd service change Author: Mike Gilbert Posted: 2025-05-24 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Installed: net-firewall/nftables net-firewall/nftables-1.1.1-r1 made some changes to the provided systemd units. Prior to this version, nftables-restore.service was responsible for both loading rules on system startup and for saving them on system shutdown. The service has now been split in two: nftables-load.service is responsible for loading rules at startup. Users who relied on nftables-restore.service to load firewall rules must now enable nftables-load.service instead. nftables-store.service may be used to save the current ruleset by starting it at any time. It may also be enabled to store the ruleset at shutdown. Use of this service is not mandatory if the user chooses to maintain the saved ruleset manually.
