Still using these obsolete Linux commands? They might be popular from the olden days but perhaps it is time to look for alternatives.

iptables --> nftables

And if you really want the iptables UX, iptables-nft is also an option (at least on Debian). While I prefer firewalld most of the time on a server, my boss really wants to stick with the same tools he's used for 20yr; so iptables-nft it is.
