Yes, that was exactly my initial question. I couldn't agree more.
The issue was knowing the correct command to use force the reload. I
remain unclear on that if my files are in either /etc/iptables.up.rules
or /etc/iptables/rules.v4.

why would you ever reboot a linux system for something trivial than
exchange, reset or realod iptables?
* you have your ruleset
* you have saved it
* just load it
"/usr/sbin/iptables-nft-restore /etc/sysconfig/iptables" or
"iptables-restore" or "iptables-legacy-restore"
there is no difference doing that at boot or any moment in time

on Debian I flushed all tables including custom tables and used to

strategy - flush and reload pf.conf
if that is what you mean by reload.

What is the preferred command to reload the current rules for
iptables? (Please include Debian environment, if distro-specific.)
