[12:59] <slyon> causative: I'm glad you can use iptables-persistent for your usecase. Hooks are not something that is natively supported by Netplan. It's mor considered to be a workaround. They are also not supported by systemd-networkd for example and its usage will probably fade out over time.
[13:01] <slyon> universal_ddos: You can use Netplan for VMs or servers alike. It's especially useful when automating the setup of instances, e.g. in combination with cloud-init. But can also be used to handle single machines individually, in a declarative approach. And also to query the current network state, e.g. using `netplan status` interactively.
