There are several ways of getting help and support for Netfilter products.
Community
Netfilter is a FLOSS community. Among other things this means that community support is offered in a best effort approach.
You may direct your help/support request to several support channels, which include:
- The users mailing list: netfilter@vger.kernel.org, archive
- Our documentation (i.e., this wiki, manpages, further documentation, and other resources)
- IRC: #netfilter in libera.chat
- External support tools and forums like stackoverflow, distribution specific channels, and so on
Community support is usually not fully real-time, but the amount of knowledge that it contains is huge :-)
Enterprise
For some of our users it's important to have a professional paid support service associated with the software they are running. There are a lot of enterprise businesses, vendors, and consulting firms who can provide support related to Netfilter software.
