nftables systemctl status inactive?

sudo systemctl status nftables
○ nftables.service - Netfilter Tables
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/nftables.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

It's normal that shows nftables inactive after a systemclt start option oneshot?

It is. A oneshot runs a single command and exits when that command has exited. You know it has started by the fact it has an exit status and activation information.

Thanks for reply

I read that nftables are active even when the service stop or till I execute a flush with nftables, so I was not shure if it's correct.
