Phantom ringing in the middle of the night - where is the call log?

(1/1)

Dale:
on an Obi 100 i have two accounts, one a GV account and an outbound only voip.ms account.

Often some asshole manages to ring the telephone around 12:30AM or 1:30AM. 

There is no record of there being a GV call.
voip.ms cannot ring my phone (no inbound service) and their logs also show no activity.

It could be another Obi user. I want to see if that is the case. There used to be a call log for the Obi that I could view from a web browser. I can no longer find it.

Where can I find out who/what is calling my phone in the middle of the night?

If it is another obi user, can I block them?

voip.ms support suggested that hacker may be able to probe my internet connection looking for ATA devices. Is there a security problem that allows that to happen? Can they make the device think there is an incoming call by pretending to be another obi device?

ianobi:
You are suffering from "SIP scanners".

See:

Any calls coming in via sp1/sp2/OBiTALK would appear in the OBi Call History. The SIP scanners are coming in directly via IP address / port and do not appear in the OBi Call History.

It's a mystery why they always seem to call at night!

Dale:
thank you - It is a great thread.

I just signed up with phonepower and they have a doc which suggests adding these IPs to X_AccessList

208.64.8.6,206.15.130.6

I added them as 'junk IPs' to my voip.ms service also, since that is only outgoing.

I will also look at the other solution too in detail...

Say what? What are "junk IPs?" Those 2 IPs are two of the three primary PhonePower SIP servers. I'm not sure in what context you would consider them junk IPs.
