In vestacp, adding a iptables rules in .sh format and copying to /usr/local/vestacp/data/firewall/ seems to work across reboot: [Prevent Firewall from Flushing CLI Rules - Vesta Control Panel - Forum](https://forum.vestacp.com/viewtopic.php?t=16491)

How could I make my custom iptables work with hestia? my iptables are in .sh format like in vesta.

Basicly this hasn’t changed in hestia, the include of custom.sh is still there: [https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/blob/master/bin/v-update-firewall#L127-L130](https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/blob/master/bin/v-update-firewall#L127-L130)

So if you follow this procedure, it should still work.
