$ sudo iptables-save -f /etc/iptables.rules

iptables-save [OPTIONS]

iptables-save dumps the current iptables IPv4 configuration to stdout or a file. The output can be restored using iptables-restore. Use ip6tables-save for IPv6 rules.

-t, --table table

Only output rules for the specified table (filter, nat, mangle, raw, security)

Write output to file instead of stdout

Include packet and byte counters in output

This saves only IPv4 rules. Use ip6tables-save for IPv6. Rules are output in a format suitable for iptables-restore. Counter values change constantly on active systems.

iptables-save is part of the iptables package for managing the Linux kernel firewall.
