UFW not allowing GEOIP rule

[THCTLO]

Hai,

Ufw is not allowing my GEOIP country block rule.

I tried to add these rules. ( which work fine when added with iptables )

-A ufw-before-logging-input -m geoip --src-cc KR,CN,VN,UA,BR,VE,JP -m limit --limit 3/minute -j LOG --log-level 5 --log-prefix '[UFW BLOCK COUNTRIES] '
-A ufw-before-logging-input -m geoip --src-cc KR,CN,VN,UA,BR,VE,JP -j DROP

i get the message UFW INIT error.

if i manualy add these rules with iptables they work fine, but these rules dissapeer after a while, how come ?

and yes, even if i add these rule to ufw-before-input the same happens.
I cant figure this out so im reporting this as a bug.

At least how can i make it so that it stops removing (somehow) my geoip rules.. i really need them for security reasons.

Im running ubuntu 14.04 LTS

TLo

Thank you for using Ubuntu and filing a bug. Curiously, a Debian bug came in just before this one that is essentially the same. Please see my comment in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777150 and report back if that helps you.
