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.

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.
