[asterisk-users] asterisk and fail2ban

[Andrew Thomas]

Just to respond to the IP range approach.  My ISP recently changed my
external IP and now it appears that I am in New York (when I am actually
static in Manchester, England).  I've also been in Birmingham,
Motherwell and Nottingham [UK] aswell!  So, although banning certain
ranges may be a good idea for you - it's not a good idea for everyone
(we have 'road warriors' that do, indeed, travel to the Far East and
Middle East).

I suppose the only 'real' way to invoke security (on any system) is to
have very strong passwords - maybe 1234 is not the way to go :p

Thanks Ioan. I'll give it a shot.
