[Freeswitch-users] Filtering UA's IP

[Steven Ayre]

"I can not use a router or FW or any other thing in front of the freeswitch
because the same freeswitch  also serves
other services that do not have this  restriction."

Could you configure the server to have another sofia profile on an
additional IP address (or port if addresses are limited)?

You could then run the restricted service on that extra profile and use a
firewall on that address/port (eg iptables) to restrict access to the
relevant regions.

Since everything else is on another address/port that iptables wouldn't be
restricting it wouldn't affect the other services on the same freeswitch
instance.
