ufw delete all rules












7















I'm trying to understand and build my own firewall for the first time.



I'm very new to this kind of things.



I came up to ufw and added some rules to test it.



Is there any way of deleting all the rules at once with a single command?

          If you want to turn off UFW completely and delete all the rules, you can use "reset" command:



          ufw reset


          Afterwards you can start it again (fresh clean) using:



          sudo ufw enable

            In CentOS, ufw reset does not wipe all the rules clean. It will rather leave ufw with the default rules in place, such as allowing ssh connections.



            But the next one liner should do the trick,



            for i in `seq 1 $(ufw status numbered | grep "^[" | wc -l)`; do ufw --force delete 1; done


            Or, if working as a privileged user,



            for i in `seq 1 $(sudo ufw status numbered | grep "^[" | wc -l)`; do sudo ufw --force delete 1; done
