Hi Dave, can I make a suggestion: the old Shorewall checked and listed
required kernel settings ... shorewall-nft only had an ambiguous message
that I didn't connect with missing kernel settings. Maybe a look at
this area is warranted?

Thanks for the info. I'm happy to take updates/thoughts via github and
I can include better feedback for this problem in the output for the
next release. I won't be able to test all the combinations of
platforms and distros that shorewall runs on currently without more
help, so I appreciate any assistance.

OK, shorewall -nft is now working fine on arm32 so far: the
problem was
missing settings in the kernel. The hosts I am using are around
10yrs
(2016 or so) with kernels continually being upgraded using "make
oldconfig" - the end result is almost random holes in the
configuration
including some nft settings. Of course, old shorewall does not
use them
so was fine :(
So check that if you compile your own custom kernels (gentoo ...)
Thanks for the suggestions various people made - it helped.
