Cannot login from an IP address is is not banned by fail2ban. It is also in the whitelist

The restaurant is in Cambodia. I can reach all my servers on AWS or Digital Ocean except this one.

I’m using ssh and https

I general, open WiFi connects in restaurants or hotels allow for guest-networks “surfing and mailing” only. You would configure your wifi-router in the same way. Therefore I can not believe your VPN-connection is able to connect to your home network where your pbx is part of, because the restaurant’s router doesn’t allow it. Instead of using WiFi you may try it through your mobile-providers net. Once you are connected via VPN to your home network you will get an tunneled second IP from your home network which should be an allowed IP in “extensions-advanced-match_permit” and which should be part of your phx/phone network.

I can make calls without going through the VPN.

WIth no VPN,

  • I cannot SSH to the server.
  • I cannot HTTP/S to the freePBX admin gui

With the VPN, all the protocols work.

The IP address is whitelisted. I have checked the iptables and there are no rules denying access to this IP address.

I am working with DigitalOcean on the problem this week.

This is Cambodia. Routers are generally wide open

Dennis, if making and receiving calls works, thats fine and risky enough. I would recommend not to open any other additional ports and better connect ssh and https via VPN as long as it works this way.

Agree but want to know why it is ignoring my whitelist setting l
