          Whether to enable nftables and use nftables based firewall if enabled.
          nftables is a Linux-based packet filtering framework intended to
          replace frameworks like iptables.

          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>.

        Because this is executed in a sandbox, the check might fail if it requires
        access to any environmental factors or paths outside the Nix store.
        To circumvent this, the ruleset file can be edited using the preCheckRuleset
        option to work in the sandbox environment.
