+**This is not the correct repository for issues with the Linux nftables
+project!** This repository contains a third-party Go package to programmatically
+interact with nftables. Find the official nftables website at
+https://wiki.nftables.org/
+
 This package manipulates Linux nftables (the iptables successor). It is
 implemented in pure Go, i.e. does not wrap libnftnl.
