Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Filtering UA's IP

"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.

Hi, is there any way on freeswitch to forbid registration (or any connection) from certain regions in the world ? ..
what i need to accomplish is to prevent people from connecting from my same country as we have a voip service
that is supposed to be accessed only when you are out of the country so i need to validate the UA's ip when registering.
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. This restriction only affects users in one profile only.
I m aware that i could capture the registrations using a lua script and i guess from there i could consult
a GeoIP database etc etc but that affects all profiles and not only this particular profile of this particular service
and that could be a performance hit for the service as a whole so i would like to avoid that.

thank you!
