Firewall configuration

[lat3450]

Hi group;

Does ViciDialNOW automatically configures IPTABLES?

Thanks.

[brett05]

yes

So can we say it is secure by default or do we have to add some extra stuff to properly secure it?

Thanks.

It's quite secure by default since the firewall is enabled. Only the ports needed by Asterisk and Vicidial are only open.

Here they are:

21/tcp ftp
22/tcp ssh
80/tcp http
443/tcp https
10k/tcp webmin

4569/udp iax
5060/udp sip
10k-65k/udp rtp

You still need to do extra stuff to properly secure your VicidialNOW server. One of the most important thing is to change all default passwords. Specially the Vicidial admin and Asterisk phone extensions.

Thanks Gardo.
