fail2ban is not starting up when I reboot the system.

[mmcmonster2]

fail2ban doesn't restart when I reboot the system. Not sure how to set it up to restart when the system comes up. This is what I have:

$ cat /etc/fail2ban/jail.local

[sshd]
enabled = true
bantime  = 10h
port = 0:65535
findtime  = 10m
maxretry = 3
backend = systemd

$ sudo systemctl start fail2ban

$ systemctl status fail2ban

(I'm cross-posting this to Linux Mint forums, as I am having this problem on Linux Mint v21.2, which is based on Ubuntu.)

has examples. You probably don't want to list all ports in a specific jail, BTW. I'd remove that line.

[sshd]
enabled = true
bantime = 1h
port    = ssh
logpath = %(sshd_log)s
backend = %(sshd_backend)s

The port above does a lookup in /etc/services to get the port. If you've moved the sshd port somewhere else, then you'll want a specific number, not a range.
is all I have in mine.
