Thanks for your bug Mark.
Could you do a test? Enable the Gufw Log from the Preferences menu. Try to add your rule, copy and paste the commands in Gufw Log menu into the Terminal and paste here the exit.
Thanks in advance! If you have any doubt, please, ask me :)
Best regards.

Hi Marcos,

Enabled log
Add rule
copy from log:

ufw reject out proto tcp from any to any port 62.69.166.254

Copy into term under root.

Result: ERROR: Bad port '62.69.166.254'

This is no the syntax ufw can cunderstand.

I tried: ufw reject out proto tcp from 62.69.166.254 to 62.69.166.254
Result: Rule added

No rule is show in the Gufw GUI.
Close Gufw and start again.

Now the rule is shown in the GUI.

So the bug is in the adding part of the GUI of Gufw not in the ufw part.
When is fix available?

Bye, Mark

Hi again,

The by the command line added rule: ufw reject out proto tcp from 62.69.166.254 to 62.69.166.254

Shows in the gui as:

To Action From
62.69.166.254/tcp REJECT OUT 62.69.166.254/tcp (out)

Is that correct?
"From" should be local host.

Bye, Mark

Hi Marcos,

That must do the job.

Hi Marcos,

Here all screenshots from the start. (see doc)
When the rule is added the error is shown.

Thinking about the cause, it could be an permission issue to ufw.
Let me know if you need more information.

Bye, Mark

Thanks Mark!
You're using a field for a port (or service), not for an IP.
In that field you could put a port as '22' for ssh, or you could put 'ssh' (it's the same), but you can't use an IP.
If you want allow/block an IP you must use the 3th tab: Advanced ;)
You have here the official documentation:

Hi Marcos,

Oops, I feel very stupid....
It is the port number. I could have seen that easily.
Thanks anyway.
