Fail2ban vs CSF

None imho. CSF is more enhanced (more options), so way better.
Fail2ban is in fact a bit different and just does scanning logs for port intrusion and bans them, makes it a bit lighter.
CSF is a bit more extended and does not only what Fail2ban does, but also does complete firewalling stuff which F2B does not.

May F2B for some extra specific services monitoring?

I found a good comparison here (click).

Personally I never found anything from F2B what CSF couldn't do. But maybe somebody knows something extra which I missed.
 
Hi Richard , my question was more why are both available in custombuild ?
When you go to the options you see fail2ban as installable program, does is it make sense to have fail2ban and CSF in Custombuild ?
 
It's just give option to people that want "Fail2ban is better than anything else", while default scanner from fail2ban only have the SSH and need relay full-scan (slowest) other services from BFM Directadmin.

No ip_ignore optional, No UI, and they might crying ask for the GUI like CSF... 😅
