For some services such as sshguard & Fail2ban you need a generic running firewall. We will save a blank firewall rule set and start the firewall.

to start upon reboot
root # rc-update add iptables default
ipv6
root # rc-service ip6tables save root # rc-service ip6tables start
To make the service start upon system reboot, run:
root # rc-update add ip6tables default
Show firewall Rules & Status
