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
Want as in "playing" ;-)
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.
Yes, for an office I can very well imagine that. I played with asterisk during a training course with a group, and I found it was a wonderful tool. We had cisco telephones. My ISP changed my copper line into fibre, and now the phones in the house talk into a little box connected to the fibre named "the ONT", which does the translation to a SIP network. But they don't publish the specifications to this wonderful setup, they want people to think service is the same as it was and charge for every service. People hack the configuration and add VoIP phones, so that they can, for instance, take a call to the house on the mobile hundreds of kilometres away from the house at cost zero. Then the phone company changes something and it stops working for some time. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
