It is good to know that there is SOME progress in the issue of fulfilling the router/gateway function promise given at the public introduction of the Vision Five 2 (3 Gigabit Ethernet ports would have been nice though, instead of only 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports for a DMZ configuration in full control of the Vision Five 2 machine not needing an extra OpenWRT box for its subnets). Though, the capabilities of the Vision Five 2 exceed by far that of an OpenWRT router and it would be a waste of its potential to make it an OpenWRT router box. I bought it to make it a DMZ (DMZ (computing) - Wikipedia) gateway and router as well as DMZ server and comfortably accessible machine. A working nftables kernel firewall and IP packet routing support in the debian-202308 image would have already done that job, but the starfive-5.15.0 kernel in the debian-202308 image does not support the nftables kernel firewall subsystem, which is quite pity.
