          Whether to enable nftables.  nftables is a Linux-based packet
          filtering framework intended to replace frameworks like iptables.

          This conflicts with the standard networking firewall, so make sure to
          disable it before using nftables.

          Note that if you have Docker enabled you will not be able to use
          nftables without intervention. Docker uses iptables internally to
          setup NAT for containers. This module disables the ip_tables kernel
          module, however Docker automatically loads the module. Please see
          <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/24318#issuecomment-289216273>
          for more information.

          There are other programs that use iptables internally too, such as
          libvirt. For information on how the two firewalls interact, see
          <https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Troubleshooting#Question_4._How_do_nftables_and_iptables_interact_when_used_on_the_same_system.3F>.
