Iptables
To create persistent rules with iptables you could use the Debian/Ubuntu package: iptables-persistent
apt-get update apt-get install iptables-persistent -y
iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4 ip6tables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v6
After each reboot all rules will be restored automatically through an init-script. NB: The initscript is called: /etc/init.d/netfilter-persistent
