   Nice site. I was hoping you could add a few tips for a new home Asterisk user.

   I have found that I am getting a lot of hackers trying to access my Asterisk Server.

   I am using fail2ban to block users that attempt to hack my box. Its not bad. It also emails me when it ban’s an IP.

   I also added a couple of lines to my sip.conf which seemed to make a huge difference.

   alwaysauthreject=yes
   allowguest=no

   Another issue I had to solve was running my server behind my firewall. More explanation of NAT and how to setup a sip configuration would be nice.

   Currently I am using DDNS and the following in my sip.conf

   externhost=gillani.no-ip.org ; auto detect external router IP
   localnet=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 ; linksys router

   And finally, it would be nice if there was some samples of good use of sip.conf and extensions.conf

   Anyway…take care.
