The netfilter-persistent service failed randomly on boot while working ok when launched manually. Turned out it was conflicting with sshguard service due to systemd trying to load everything in parallel. What helped is to setting ENABLE_FIREWALL=0 in /etc/default/sshguard and then adding sshguard chain and rule manually to /etc/iptables/rules.v4 and /etc/iptables/rules.v6. " The above report provided a workaround. I think we need a real fix. Thanks, -- Dexuan
