Finally getting around to writing the continuation of this howto. Now lets take a look at a basic router firewall.
Basic ruleset configuration is described here.
This ruleset only sets up ipv4 nating, no filtering is set up (that will be covered later)
The following is an nft configuration file. To be loaded with nft -f.

Nftables introduction
I assume a kernel >=3.18 and nft >= 0.4.
I decided to try out nftables, the would-be iptables successor on my home router/server PC.
As a basic guide I used this guide and the pretty good basic documentation on wiki.nftables.org.
Nft comes with a completely empty ruleset. Meaning no predefined tables, chains or rules.
You as a user create tables, populate those with chains (which hook into kernel netfilter hooks)...
