[asterisk-users] Incoming Call trouble with new *Now 1.5 setup

[Kyle Kienapfel]

For determining security risks, its specific to how your dialplan is set up.
If a person connects to your asterisk, what can they do? what happens? did
you set the incoming context to one with outgoing dialing rules?
Also for filtering calls, you'll probably want to either look at the
incoming sip packets or ask your ITSP for info on how the calls come in. I
have a DID with les.net and in their web interface I can choose between
having the calls addressed to sipuser at did.voip.les.net or
DID at did.voip.les.net Or maybe even check the cdr files. Or just look at the
error message when theres no catchall, it's an error like "incoming call for
extension 523523 doesn't match anything in context whatever".
