While I am sure ferm would still work on EL8 - have you looked at migrating your firewall rules to nftables?

Iptables is deprecated and ferm is not going to be extended to support nftables because it doesn't make much sense to do so.

Hi,
I'm aware of nftables. But migrating a huge amount of rules on a few hundred systems takes a lot of time. Since iptables is still supported at the moment it would be nice to continue using it on CentOS 8.
