Registrations from Internet is vague:

- are EP with fixed IP: define the extension in SIP.conf with host = <EP 
IP>. You can even add an iptables rule to allow the <EP IP> to connect 
to port 5060 in udp (if your setup is this one)
- are EP travellers => fail2ban or through VPN. OpenVPN is a good solution.

All clients doesn't support SRTP

In all cases I would recommend:

- a strong extension definition eg [MyFav0Rite-prefiX_123] instead of [123]
- always use fail2ban
