View source for UFW:Reordering UFW Firewall

If you're interested in reordering your UFW rules, this is one way to do it.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo ufw status numbered
</syntaxhighlight>

      To                         Action      From
      --                         ------      ----
 [ 1] 22                         ALLOW IN    Anywhere
 [ 2] 80                         ALLOW IN    Anywhere
 [ 3] 443                        ALLOW IN    Anywhere
 [ 4] 22 (v6)                    ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)
 [ 5] 80 (v6)                    ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)
 [ 6] 443 (v6)                   ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)
 [ 7] Anywhere                   DENY IN     [ip-to-block]

Say you accidentally added a rule to the end, but you wanted up top.

First you will have remove it from the bottom (7) and add it back.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo ufw delete 7
</syntaxhighlight>

Note, be careful of removing multiple rules one after another, their position can change!

Add back your rule to the very top (1):

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo ufw insert 1 deny from [ip-to-block] to any
</syntaxhighlight>
