Exception when closing Eddie (debian 10) - possibly nftables syntax

[swampdog 0]

Hi,

When I close Eddie (just clicking the x in the top-right), I get an exception: See log excerpt below

This happens with 2.19.7 and the new 2.20.0, but seems ok if iptables in 'network lock' is selected. Looks like it is an nftables issue.

Hello to all,

I am getting the same exception when I deactivate Network Lock.
My system is MX21 / Kernel 5.10.12 / Init: systemd / Debian 11 base code.

E 2021.03.19 08:19:51 - Exception: nft issue: exit:1; out:; err:/tmp/eddie_tmp_netlock_nftables_backup.nft:70:57-64: Error: syntax error, unexpected hoplimit, expecting newline or semicolon

Checking UFW status shows "disabled" after deactivating Network Lock. It should show "enabled" when Network Lock is disabled assuming I have enabled UFW before running Eddie.

Cannot reproduce with 2.21.5 beta on Arch Linux. Activation and deactivation with both options, nftables and iptables-legacy, works as intended. Can you try that?

Tried with 2.21.5 but had same issues.

The solution for me was to completely disable ufw and enable nftables at boot. Then set my default firewall rules as I like using only nftables.
Now, eddie ver 2.20.0 works as expected.
