Ahh thanks. I just read the bug report and looks like it might not happen anytime soon.

https://github.com/firehol/firehol/issues/48

I looked at ferm but that appears to be similar and won’t be updated to support nftables. There was a bug filed to netfilter for some usability improvements that might be useful if switching to plain nftables configuration files.

I also found APF which might be a good alternative frontend.
