from-sip-external is used for incoming calls that do not match any configured trunks. I often see these calls with a server is not properly locked down (firewall, SIP guest/anonymous call settings).

Are you accepting unknown or anonymous calls?

Thanks

the pbx is locked down with Firewall

where do I set SIP guest/anonymous settings?

repsonsive firewall is active and fail2ban

Are you accepting unknown or anonymous calls?

Anonymous/Unknown numbers - yes

Then don’t :wink:

How about customers who call with withed numbers?

That’s not the same. That’s the CallerID presense or not

made sure it is all blocked

still get load of entries in CDR

Provide a SIP trace and call logs

set both to “no” in Asterisk SIP Settings and your problem will go away.

Thank you

That seems to have solved it
