It may not be the easiest way / best way, but I use iptables-persistent to do so
Once installed, launch sudo dpkg-reconfigure iptables-persistent to save your iptables

You can run the following command to save the current rules in /etc/iptables/rules.v4 and /etc/iptables/rules.v6:

sudo service iptables-persistent save

Why there is no 193.201.224.186 in the file /etc/iptables/rules.v4?
