Verify status of the ufw firewall


# ufw status - Show short status.

ufw status numbered - Show rules with their sequence numbers, that we can later use to delete some
specific rule.

Status: active
To Action From
-- ------ ----
[ 1] 22 ALLOW IN Anywhere
[ 2] Anywhere ALLOW IN 10.10.10.0/24
[ 3] 22 (v6) ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)

Enable ufw firewall


ufw enable - Enable ufw firewall and load the default rules, as well as user created if any in the
/etc/ufw/user.rules.

Allow SSH access to this server from Any IP


source
ufw allow 22 - Add port 22 to the filter table with action of allow. The rule will be added to the
/etc/ufw/user.rules file and will survive reboot.

Delete a rule by its number


ufw delete <rule number>
First, see the rule numbers with ufw status numbered. Let’s say I want to delete rule number 2:

# ufw delete 2
Deleting:
allow from 10.10.10.0/24
Proceed with operation (y|n)? y
Rule deleted

On deleting a rule, the ufw moves rules up, taking place of the removed rule in sequencing. That is,
the rule that was numbered 3 before the deletion of rule 2, will become new rule number 2.
