But the reason that I'm not changing this myself in the page is: 1. I am running the above on non-gentoo linux (nftables v0.4, kernel 4.0.0-g39a8804) and 2. it may have changed with the new versions of nftables thus the original command may still work as expected and without error in gentoo. --EmanueLczirai (talk) 17:17, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
