While the OBi can happily work behind a firewall, a firewall should not be required in order to assure protection of the device. What about remote users who have the OBi connected directly to a modem?





Not always. My Obi works fine behind a firewall with Google Voice  but there was nothing I could do with the 3600 HGV to let it work properly with Localphone,  with the result that my Obi is in DMZ and open to such possible attacks.
I am not overly concerned with Obihai's  access to my device nor with privacy which is quite an elusive thing in these days and latitudes, but I definitely think that Obihai should spend some effort in order to make the device secure from hackers.

I wouldn't suggest you run a VoIP device - or any Internet-connected device for that matter - without a firewall.

With Voice Services -> ObiTalk -> Enable -> UNchecked, dialing **5 alone is harmless. After a few seconds the Obi plays Fast Busy [error] and does nothing, as it should.

Update; I also tried **5 + [random 4 digit #] and did not see any changes in any Obi settings, even after a manual reboot.

Of course.  But try **5 + 4 or more digits and watch with Wireshark.

Correct.  But if you send the 4 digits that the OBiTALK Web Portal is expecting for an Add Device, the OBiTALK Web Portal can still take control of your OBi even though you have Voice Services -> ObiTalk -> Enable -> UNchecked.
