That was my thought too - you could run asterisk internally, but it's a bit of big gun for this.
And it is a target for attacks :-(
Everything is a target, but it's not a big deal - you get a lot of people trying to gain access to a SIP account, but it is so easily blocked. I've been running asterisk as our telephone system for at least 8 years. For Roger's purpose though, it's far too much effort to set up, I would say.
I might play again with asterisk, I would like to install it again. But I only played on a LAN. Facing outside I think it is bombarded by script kiddies.
Yes it will be eventually. There isn't really any reason for you to have it open externally, unless you want/need - IAX connections (can be useful for some public gateways) external SIP provider (for real numbers for instance). external devices The script kiddies (and more serious people) will be banging down your port 5060, but that's taken care with a good sip config and some rate control. Maybe fail2ban. When I was setting up offices for my company about ten years ago, at first I bought a 2nd hand telephone exchange (PABX) including telephones. I quickly found out that everything you needed was tied into software licenses and extra cost, so after spending Christmas setting up asterisk, I sold it all again and never looked back. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
