I wanna known, what layer of OSI Model packet filtering Works ?

Network ?? Application ??

It depends on which parts of the packet is the filter looking at.

A bit simplified example: if it is just IP addresses, it's the network
layer. If it is port numbers, it's the transport layer. If it is data
payload, it's the application layer.
