You can use firejail for network isolation, it can run applications in a new network namespace [1]. I'm using this to run applications over tor to make sure that nothing leaks.

[1] https://firejail.wordpress.com/documentation-2/basic-usage/#... "A network namespace is a new, independent TCP/IP stack attached to the sandbox. The stack has its own routing table, firewall and set of interfaces."

I saw there's an option to match on a cgroup among nft meta expressions (but I've never tried it). It could be enough if you just want to add per-process firewall rules, but not configure an additional namespace with it's associated interfaces, routing/nating.

Yes. You could match packets based on username or even SELinux labels.

You could also set a special mark on a packet for each container and then filter based on that. The Internet is surprsingly very thin on nft resources. I spent a few weeks learning how to write them. Definitely, not for the average consumer.
