I installed Freepbx Distro SNG-7 on my server, upgrading to the latest version. It seems everything went smooth except for the IP config.
The first thing I noticed is that IP address was missing from the startup screen. The installation should have figured it out so that I could do the ensuring configuration. What should I do next? Before I start messing with the initial setup process, I returned home with this challenge to overcome. In the first picture, I added the IPADDR GATEWAY and NETMASK values myself. But in the last pic, there should have been IP address on the third column, which I later added to see if it works after reboot.
So, in all, my server is not accessible remotely.
I was able to connect with my server and admin page for about 5 minutes. After I configured firewall setting and moved on to configure SIP, then I was bumped out of the server. It said Connection reset by my ip port 22, and the yardful list of following error;

My server firewall at present has set the policy to src ip any (service port ssh). But there are numerous attacks from abroad. This has been the reason why connection was reset. I get to wonder what is different from the Freepbx firewall settings I just completed. I signed up VPN for better security. How do you guys set up in terms of firewall??
So as a part of Freepbx configuration, the default firewall uses Whitelist, which is enforced application-wise; in addition to this, I’ve got a firewall system set up for the physical server as well. I noticed there have been continuing attacks from Shanghi, so ruthless that my server shut down temporarily today while I was engaging in setting up the firewall. I wonder if VPN is enough. or does the Freepbx firewall protection help?
I’ve got another issue;
A network interface that is assigned to the ‘Trusted’ zone has been detected. This is a misconfiguration. To ensure your system is protected from attacks, please change the default zone of interface ‘eth0’.
What does this mean?
I don’t know whether to laugh with you or not. When I first saw this, I thought Freepbx is joking and better humorous than my Bixby which I sometimes make it to joke or converse with me.
