Prerequisites

Before resetting UFW, make sure you have:

  • SSH access to your VPS
  • Root or sudo privileges

⚠️ Resetting will remove ALL firewall rules. You may lose SSH access!

Method 1: Disable and Reset

Connect to your VPS:

ssh hxroot@YOUR_SERVER_IP -p 22
sudo ufw disable
sudo ufw reset

Then re-enable with your desired rules.

Method 2: Reset and Keep SSH

sudo ufw reset
echo "y" | sudo ufw reset
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw enable

✅ UFW has been reset to default settings.
