ufw is the great command line app for managing iptables in Ubuntu. While any changes should use the ufw command, it is possible to rather manually edit user created ufw rules in cases where that might be desirable.
The file location is:
/lib/ufw/user.rules
For ipv6 rules, the file is:
/lib/ufw/user6.rules
As with iptables, rules are processed in the order of the file top to bottom. For example this first rule would be processed before the one following:
### tuple ### deny any any 0.0.0.0/0 any 192.168.1.1 in -A ufw-user-input -s 192.168.1.1 -j DROP ### tuple ### allow any 80 0.0.0.0/0 any 0.0.0.0/0 in -A ufw-user-input -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
After making changes, reload ufw:
$ sudo ufw reload
Hi this is working but is doesn’t show on
sudo ufw status
also if we disable and enable ufw, the rule will get deleted.
any work-around ?
sudo ufw reload
will apply the rules.
Thanks! Post updated.
In the latest version of Ubuntu the rules are in /etc/ufw/user.rules
