sshguard service

Hi guys, I am having quite a problem. I have installed the sshguard from archlinux wiki (followed the tutorial). Although I have enabled the service to start (# systemctl enable sshguard), every time I reboot my machine, I cannot connect via ssh to it. I have to get my VNC console to the VPS and then I run # systemctl start sshguard and it starts to accept my ssh connections. Even if I check (# systemctl status sshguard) before I manually start it, the service is showed as running. Can you point me to where is my mistake might be? What can cause such a behavior? Thank you

Re: sshguard service

Hi sDoky, don't know if I can be of service here, but I'm also using sshguard to protect SSH on my server.
You have configured iptables for the use of sshguard?
Did you check the logs for any clues?
Is there any difference in the status before and after restarting sshguard?
