Yes, it only tells you *if* rules were created in either, not *what* created them. Many services on a given Linux distro could create rules in either iptables or nftables: Docker, Kubernetes, firewalld, etc. Someone more knowledgeable than me might know if there's a way to tell what these systems use aside from looking at the iptables/nftables rules and deducing what service creates them, or reading up on the service itself and trying to find documentation where this is stated. -Martin On Mon, Jun 21, 2021 at 6:17 PM <slow_speed@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > So those commands verify if one or the other is being used; not if the > services exist.
