Um firewall nftables correto, incluindo IPv6

# 01 Porque a família inet importa

The most common firewall mistake on a modern VPS is a v4-only ruleset. Every OnionVPS instance has a routed IPv6 /64, so services remain fully reachable over v6 unless the ruleset covers both. The inet family covers both in one place.

# 02 Um conjunto de regras base completo

Write it to /etc/nftables.conf and enable the service. Keep a second session open while testing.

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

table inet filter {
  chain input {
    type filter hook input priority 0; policy drop;

    ct state established,related accept
    ct state invalid drop
    iif lo accept

    ip protocol icmp accept
    ip6 nexthdr icmpv6 accept

    tcp dport { 22, 80, 443 } accept
    udp dport 51820 accept          # WireGuard

    limit rate 5/minute burst 10 packets log prefix "nft-drop: "
  }
  chain forward { type filter hook forward priority 0; policy drop; }
  chain output  { type filter hook output  priority 0; policy accept; }
}

# 03 Aplique-o com segurança

Schedule a flush before applying, so a mistake resolves itself rather than requiring the console.

echo 'nft flush ruleset' | at now + 10 minutes
nft -f /etc/nftables.conf
# verify you are still connected, then:
atrm $(atq | cut -f1)
systemctl enable nftables

# 04 Nunca bloqueie ICMPv6

IPv6 depends on ICMPv6 for neighbour discovery and path MTU discovery. Blocking it wholesale, which people do out of IPv4 habit, produces intermittent failures that are extremely hard to diagnose.
