Event Guard

This is an optional service designed to protect your VoIP server. It observes registration events
and blocks those that abuse it.

Note

It doesn’t watch server logs.

This feature currently supports iptables and pf firewalls. Netfilter firwall support will be added in the future.

It logs blocked and unblocked calls to Event Guard. Event guard currently uses the Access Control allowed nodes as a white list. Can add a new Access Control List called Customers or any name you like set to default deny, then add the customer CIDR to a new node set as allowed.

Event guard also looks at the current allowed IP addresses and trusts these registered IP addresses that were authenticated.
