The FreePBX dashboard shows calls occurring all night, however, I the office is closed. Can someone please provide some additional understanding as to what is happening here?
The office is closed, this is what I see in the query result. I do not know what that “active call” is.

Looks like the call has been active for some time, which should not be the case. Any way to kill the connection. Just reboot?

You can use the “channel request hangup” CLI command which will tab complete the channel name to request that it be hung up. If it works, then the channel was seemingly never hung up by anything or it got lost. If it doesn’t work, then it’s stuck internally in Asterisk for some reason but being in Background it is unlikely.
The issue cleared up, not sure why. I extended the Firewall rule to block flagged IP addresses for a month at a time and ran the investigative queries suggested earlier. I am now going to move the flagged IP addresses from the PBX to the firewall. This will stop them at the gate.
Thank you all for your input and support. Have a great day!
