[pve-devel] [PATCH ve-rs v2 1/2] fix: firewall: introduce iptables to nftables mapping for icmp-types
Gabriel Goller

Mon Oct 6 12:19:29 CEST 2025
From: Wolfgang Bumiller <w.bumiller at proxmox.com>
Some of the icmp-type options that we expose in the UI don't exist as
standalone nftables options, so we need to create them using a custom
type and code id.
