# DESCRIPTION
76+
77+
**ufw deny** adds a deny rule to Uncomplicated Firewall so matching packets are dropped (similar to iptables DROP). Rules can be simple port denials (`ufw deny 23/tcp`), source or network blocks (`ufw deny from 203.0.113.0/24`), or full five-tuple style rules with source, destination, port, protocol, and interface.
78+
79+
Deny rules are useful for blocking known bad hosts, unused services, or entire subnets while keeping a default allow policy elsewhere. Prefer **deny** when you want silent drops; use **reject** (via `ufw reject`) when you want the peer to receive an explicit refusal. Use `ufw status numbered` to list rules and `ufw delete` to remove them by number.
80+
81+
# CAVEATS
82+
83+
Requires root or sudo. Rule order matters when combined with allows — more specific rules should be ordered carefully (`ufw insert`). A deny rule does not override a more specific earlier allow if packet matching selects the allow first. Application profile names must match installed profiles under `/etc/ufw/applications.d/`. Blocking yourself from SSH while managing a remote host can lock you out; prefer `--dry-run` and ensure alternate access first.
