i could not find fail2ban package?

If you use client certificates it shouldnt be necessary. There is only a package for it, No plugin, so you need configure manually

"shouldnt be necessary"
yeah, that is why i am looking for more protection.

thanks much

fail2ban might not be the best tool for the job.  fail2ban isn't wrong per say, but I'd start with hardening and using auth modes that are a little more strict.  Have you checked out a hardening guide such as this https://blog.securityevaluators.com/hardening-openvpn-in-2020-1672c3c4135a?
