My pointless complaint of the day: that’s a terrible title, even after you fix the “it’s”. Just use “nftables: a successor to iptables” and stop trying to… well, I don’t know what they were going for there.


Reading your title I expect to see a dry academic article. Their title sounds like, well… a blog post.

I would propose this title instead:

> What comes after iptables? Meet nftables.


Sure, anything that’s not “What comes after iptables? The thing that comes after iptables that I won’t name”.


Obviously nothing should come after iptables because the last rule should be drop all.
