UFW wont delete rule
I was testing something and added a rule to my firewall to allow port 9000. in retrospect, I should have just disabled it temporarily. anyhow, I went to remove the rule and it wont let me, it says rule not found.
$ sudo ufw delete 9000
ERROR: Could not find rule '9000'
but clearly, the rule is still active:
$ sudo ufw status verbose
Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed)
New profiles: skip
To Action From
-- ------ ----
80 ALLOW IN Anywhere
443 ALLOW IN Anywhere
9000 ALLOW IN Anywhere
80 (v6) ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
443 (v6) ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
9000 (v6) ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
I read the UFW help and it says you can delete a port number, but it doesn't happen. How can I remove the rule for port 9000 from UFW?
The correct syntax would be:
sudo ufw delete allow 9000
If you make a rule by the following:
sudo ufw allow 9000
Then the rule is allow 9000
. Now if you want to delete the rule:
sudo ufw delete rule
i.e.
sudo ufw delete allow 9000
The first step you can list all current rules by number:
$ sudo ufw status numbered
Then base on the listed numbers, you can delete rule by number. The number of the rule is shown in the leftmost column.
$ sudo ufw delete 2
