How many users are you thinking of supporting? For a large-scale setup you might want to take a look at Kamailio as a front-end - if you even think you're going to get a high user volume you may want to start out with a Kamailio front-end so that you don't have to start over from scratch when it

Hi Kevin, Looks like your gmail did the same thing mine did, took the conversation off-list (unless you meant to do that). If as you mention you're running a mix of POTS and SIP, I'd recommend sticking with the transfer call method (set the hook/trigger in the features.conf file). That way if

Sounds like a firewall setting to me. If you can ping, then Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets are allowed, but if SIP traffic is returning the ICMP Type 3 (code 13) response, then your SIP ports are blocked (at least the firewall admin was nice enough to leave the reason code

I'm a home user (not business), but I implemented a blacklist function too after a harassing call to my wife. Using the Asterisk DB functions, I have a caller ID look-up function before my IVR-tree starts, a simple if then. Lookup caller ID in blocked-caller DB, if found then I kick them to a

Is that IP in your network or outside (I can ping it so I'm guessing it's outside your network)? Do you have a firewall between your asterisk box and the internet? Is there a WHITELIST of IP addresses that only allow your provider's limited IP pool to connect to your asterisk box from outside?

Rather than that, if you're looking for a phone solution - as part of the customer contract, install an IP phone that registers with your system (use a VPN tunnel to your phone system). Think of it like a "red-phone" hotline. You own the phone, and you physically install it and it only talks to

The way you have the GotoIf is making it so that no matter what the busy condition of the line, it will execute the next line in the dial plan. What you'd need is an "if" or "then" which goes to a tagged line in the dial plan. How it reads now is: "If [busy] then line2, else execute next line".

IMHO, manual IP-tables is probably better for those who have a single provider - whitelist only your SIP trunk provider's IP adress (or address pool). But... that leads onto a train of thought that might help. First, realize you don't have to manually read your security logs, you can script that
