[SOLVED] Can't start 'default' network with virsh.

Currently trying to set up Virtual Manager to get some testing done. However, I haven't been able to create a vm. It gives me errors like 'default' network is not active. I did check by running

sudo virsh net-list --all

. Here's the output. It used to give me different errors before I updated ebtables and dnsmasq. Now the current errors I am getting are these (whenever I issue the command sudo virsh net-start default):

error: Failed to start network default
error: internal error: Failed to apply firewall rules /usr/bin/iptables -w --table filter --list-rules: iptables/1.8.7 Failed to initialize nft: Protocol not supported

Didn't find much online for an arch based system, so thought I'd ask here.

Check https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Libvirt#Networks to find the solution for that.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
