There are text versions for FW software that can be configured via shell.
UFW is popular one I believe:

pi@ph5:~ $ apt show ufw

Description: program for managing a Netfilter firewall
 The Uncomplicated FireWall is a front-end for iptables, to make managing a
 Netfilter firewall easier. It provides a command line interface with syntax
 similar to OpenBSD's Packet Filter. It is particularly well-suited as a
 host-based firewall.

And the only time you need to enter iptables MASQUERADE and iptables-persistent on the Bash shell is if want to route one network to another.
Examples plenty on the net like in that other posting bout Wifi sharing.

True, now that I know of it, I will check it.
However, as edited before:

Pihole cannot work with NM then in that specific case :wink:
At least now we know :smiley:

And yes, I can start/reboot without sharing the connection and then do so after booting up the device, but it is not working out of the box.

Thank you for everything. I will have a look to see what the best case to deal with my requirements are.

All is done within a second.

I takes 5 seconds before it is launched instead of one of the first PIDs. Dnsmasq for example was always around ~600. Pihole is about ~1300. Anyone, no problem for me.
