You can do so in freeswitch but sometimes it's better to do it in the firewall.
Perhaps. If it's possible to do it in FreeSWITCH how can it be done? I can't find the "how" in the wiki documentation which is why I was asking.
For example it uses far fewer resources to block someone in the firewall. It's also easier to block scanners such as friendly-scanner in the firewall.
Are there examples of this on the wiki? That is iptables rules intended for a system such as FreeSWITCH which log problems. Some things may make more sense in the firewall (or on the FreeSWITCH server itself) but I'm still inclined to think that other stuff should be provided by the application itself, even if not enabled by default if this uses up "precious resources" on a busy system. On a SOHO type system I'd personally configure things in one place as that is easier to maintain. Simon
