Reassigning to firewalld as the description mentions that ufw is
disabled.
This is not a bug though because iptables relies on certain
tables/chains being used and it looks like firewalld doesn't use those
(which is fine for firewalld to do). You should be able to see all
netfilter firewall rules with 'nft' but you'll only see rules that are
added to the (now non-default) tables/chains that iptables expects
(INPUT, OUTPUT, etc). More specifically, 'nft' will see the rules that
'iptables' creates but not necessarily the other way around.
** Package changed: ufw (Ubuntu) => firewalld (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: firewalld (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid

Title:
iptables empty when using firewalld
Status in firewalld package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Summary:
I am using firewalld/jammy,now 1.1.1-1ubuntu1 on my vpn server. The vpn
server is using wireguard and I could successfully configure zones and policies
in firewalld. Yet, iptables does not show the rules from firewalld.
1) System
root@vpn:~# uname -a
Linux vpn 5.15.0-27-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 14 04:55:28 UTC 2022
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@vpn:~# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Release: 22.04
All updates installed.
2) What happens:
I am setting rules with firewall-cmd.
These firewall rules are visible with:
nft list table inet firewalld
but not with 'iptables'.
3) What I expect to happen:
The toutput of
iptables --list
should also reflect firewalld settings.
4) What happened instead
However, the iptables output shows only empty tables (filter, mangle,
nat).
root@vpn:~# iptables -t nat --list
# Warning: iptables-legacy tables present, use iptables-legacy to see them
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
root@vpn:~# iptables -t filter --list
# Warning: iptables-legacy tables present, use iptables-legacy to see them
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
root@vpn:~# iptables-legacy -t nat --list
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
root@vpn:~# iptables-legacy -t filter --list
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
5) Further information
The ufw firewall is disabled and uninstalled.
According to the release notes of 22.04, the backend has changed to nftables.
I was assuming, that the backend default is kind of transparent to the user,
meaning iptables should still work as normal.
I wonder if on my system is iptables correctly linked to the backend.
Iptables points to xtables-nft-multi:
root@vpn:~# ls -l /usr/sbin/iptables
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Aug 24 2021 /usr/sbin/iptables ->
/etc/alternatives/iptables
root@vpn:~# ls -l /etc/alternatives/iptables
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Apr 25 18:56 /etc/alternatives/iptables ->
/usr/sbin/iptables-nft
root@vpn:~# ls -l /usr/sbin/iptables-nft
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Mar 24 12:58 /usr/sbin/iptables-nft ->
xtables-nft-multi
root@vpn:~# ls -l /usr/sbin/xtables-nft-multi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 224296 Mar 24 12:58 /usr/sbin/xtables-nft-multi
Perhaps this is an issue with the upgrade process of ubuntu.
