Did you try using “sudo ufw reload” after updating your iptables? I have not tried it, but this mentions it:

Could have been i misread :)
Where did you learn “that ufw and iptables can be combined?” <br> <br>According to this article (<a href=“http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/04/why-ufw-does-not-need-a-gui”>Why ufw Does Not Need A GUI</a> ) that’s already the case (albeit it’s a little dated), in that ufw uses/manipulates iptables. That is, ufw <i>sits on top of</i> iptables. <br> <br>According to the <a href=“http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/ufw-framework.8.html”>Ubuntu Manpages</a>, “ufw uses many user-defined chains in addition to the built-in iptables chains.” The <a href=“http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/ufw-framework.8.html”>Ubuntu Manpage on ufw</a> also provides some examples. <br> <br>In re: to a ufw HowTo, DigitalOcean has a nice tutorial: <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-setup-a-firewall-with-ufw-on-an-ubuntu-cloud-server”>How to Setup a Firewall with UFW on an Ubuntu Cloud Server</a>
