+These are my example Linux firewalls.
+
+The nftables ones are from 2020:
+
+:nftables-host.nft: basic server firewall. Dual stack.
+:nftables-router.nft: basic router firewall. Dual stack. Includes optional
example IPS.
+
+The xtables (iptables) ones are from 2012 to 2019:
+
+:iptab: basic router firewall (NOTE: legacy IP only!)
+:iptab.ips: as ``iptab``, plus an purely in-kernel equivalent of fail2ban or
sshguard_.
+:iptab.nat: as ``iptab``, plus NAT and "port forwarding".
+
+This also has the initial draft for Emacs nft syntax highlighting.
+See also https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=36759
+
+.. _sshguard: https://sshguard.net/
