[SSHGuard-users] simple install of sshguard on ubuntu 18 20 versions

[Amit D. <ami...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have used sshguard on ubuntu 16 without any issues. Recently i installed
on ubuntu 18 and ubuntu 20 servers which is not working as expected. Went
through few threads like
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1245543/how-do-i-configure-sshguard-in-ubuntu-20-04
which didn't help much. In my auth logs i can see closed sessions for
unauthorized users sshd sessions  but not blocking me even after multiple
attempts.

Also *backends *i dont see few packages /usr/lib/sshguard/sshd-fw  or
netfiler or iptables path. I am using ufw rules.
There is a bug stating ip tables links broken.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sshguard/+bug/1884848

Is this what i am missing here ?

I have installed sshguard on 100s vms without testing on latest OS.

Is there any simple way like may be apt commands to install latest version
without compiling from source code.

Please let me know simple solution.

Thanks,
amit
