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>
