| - :doc:`bfcli`: ``bpfilter``-specific CLI, developed as part of the project. ``bfcli`` supports new ``bpfilter`` features before other CLIs as it's used for development. It allows for a more flexible rule definition: you can use a combination of filters and hooks that might not be possible with other CLIs. However, it doesn't support ``nftables`` or ``iptables`` rules format. | ||
| - :doc:`nftables`: requires a custom version of the ``nft`` binary with ``bpfilter`` support (see below), and support for new ``bpfilter`` features is usually a bit delayed. | ||
| - :doc:`iptables`: similar to ``nftables``, however ``iptables`` has been deprecated globally in favor of ``nftables``. | ||
| - :doc:`nftables` (work in progress): requires a custom version of the ``nft`` binary with ``bpfilter`` support, and support for new ``bpfilter`` features is usually a bit delayed. |
