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
root@change:~# sudo iptables -A INPUT -s 193.201.224.186 -j DROP root@change:~# cat /etc/iptables/rules.v4

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