What is the difference between jail recidve and jail plesk-permanent-ban?

 

[Sebahat.hadzhi]

Recidive looks for other jails’ bans in Fail2Ban’s own log. It blocks hosts that have received a ban from other jails five times in the last 10 minutes. The ban lasts a week and applies to all services on the server. On the other hand for the "plesk-permanent-ban" jail the bantime parameter is set to -1, which essentially means permanent.

In addition to @Sebahat.hadzhi answer, it's good to know that the plesk-permanent-ban jail is only used for the manual banning feature of IP's trough the GUI in Plesk.

I always set the ban time of recidive to -1
