Been looking where does netfilter-persistent store its rules but could not find any documentation about it on help.ubuntu.com.



Does anybody know where does netfilter-persistent in Ubuntu save its rules so it survives a reboot?

          Found it only works if you install 'iptables-persistent' package as well.



          sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent netfilter-persistent


          It will be saved in /etc/iptables/rules.v[4-6]



          If you only install netfilter-persistent, it wont save any configuration
