Do you need to reload after adding a rule in ufw?

Question

Do you need to run any of these commands:

sudo ufw reload
sudo ufw disable
sudo ufw enable

after adding a rule via sudo ufw allow?

Answer 1

No. It's enough to just add it. But if you add rules in the files, you need to execute commit.

You can check user rules, as they're called with:

ufw status

You can also add verbose for some details:

ufw status verbose

Or numbered to know which rule to remove with delete. The syntax for this one is this:

delete RULE|NUM
