so i installed fail2ban in yast it insalled and i can even restart the service but how do i make it turn on or stay on every reboot? everything i have tried dose not work. also is there a text based gui to start it or a command i can run to configure it like i did in raspberry pi os?
It would help if you give more details on “everything i have tried dose not work”, we can not guess what you tried.
Please post the commands and the output and use please use Code Tags Around Your Paste
sudo systemctl enable fail2ban
For graphical, in yast, use Services Manager and set start to On Boot.
Now, you have to start it with:
sudo systemctl start fail2ban
Reread the OP a second time and realized I didn’t have to post my comment. My apologies.
