Anveo customers now get built-in SIP Scanners protection

(1/4) > >>

AnveoRep:
We received great news from OBIHAI team today. Now Anveo customers will have built-in SIP Scanners protection out of the box.

Quote

The logic has been applied to new Anveo ASP configurations that will block the SIP scanner / ghost calls.
For existing customers, they will need to regenerate their profile for the fix to be applied.


If you are an existing customer and need to configure your OBI device to deal with annoying calls from SIP Scanners then you can just re-provision Anveo on your OBI device.
Here are steps:
1. Login into OBITALK
2. Click configure SP where you have Anveo configured
3. select Replace existing configuration
4. select Anveo
5. click 'Sign up at Anveo' button
6. When on Anveo portal click "re-provision device" link below 'Click to Get Stated' button
7. Authenticate yourself
8. Confirm re-provisioning
9. Done

How does this work?

I don't use OBiTalk Portal for provisioning.  I use the OBi202 built-in web pages expert configuration.  What are  changes that I would need to do manually?

Thank you for offering this feature!

The easiest way to avoid SIP scanners is not to have your Obi reachable in the first place - as long as you don't port-forward 5060 to your adapter you don't have to worry about it. The problems start when users put their adapter in DMZ or port-forward - unnecessary and a security risk.

You are mistaken about that IMHO. Many/most home routers do not have the ability to do the more secure type of NAT such as Symmetric NAT. Port forwarding or DMZ may be  the only available alternative.

If by simple, you mean to choose from a list of routers with  or to install more sophisticated firmware on some existing routers instead of using port forwarding and DMZ, you could call that simple. The Oleg method is more what I would call simple, and to have the setup servers of OBiTalk set that up for you by default is simpler still.
