Hi, The correct way to do this would be to add your custom rules into ufw's before.rules and/or after.rules files. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall#Advanced_Functionality for more information.

Some rules cannot be defined with Gufw/ufw, such as for instance "sudo iptables -I OUTPUT -m geoip --dst-cc <country-code> -j ACCEPT" which uses Xtables-addons. In order to have these manually defined iptables rules reloaded at each reboot, the correct way is to save them in 2 user-defined files such as /etc/iptables/rules.v4 & /etc/iptables/rules.v6 with "sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4" & "sudo ip6tables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v6", which will be later used by iptables-persistent at each Linux startup. However, any change done in Gufw is subsequently lost unless a manual call to save all the rules is made each time. So I propose 2 options to enhance Gufw: * include in Gufw settings the possibility to define the path to iptables-persistent configuration, so that each time the user changes a rule in Gufw, it is saved there, otherwise it will be lost, * or enhance Gufw with the possibility to use extensions such as Xtables-addons, which would prevent us from having to manipulate the iptables & install iptables-persistent package. Your call...
