Wrong password in log

On Asterisk Ver. 11.6.0 / FreePBX 2.11.0.11

I am looking at the log and and seing all these lines trying to register to an IP I don’t know with Wrong password… here is a sample of it:

How can I troubleshoot what is causing this?

corxchange is a decent size colo/carrier neutral access facility in Dallas.

Then someone at that IP address is probing you.

Deny anyone you don’t know at your firewall, if you don’t have a firewall that can do that, get one :slight_smile:

If you care to, call that number, don’t email it is almost guaranteed to be ignored, ny guess is your phone call won’t be answered either :slight_smile:

For some reason the log info didn’t show properly in my previous post, I removed the quotes and double quotes. my PBX is at 172.16.0.247.

Same insecurity. you allow connections from anyone on any UDP port? I don’t think that’s a good idea.

I am able to trace that IP to corxchange but I have nothing with them.
This being said the response “someone at that IP address is probing you” is my issue.
I was just not sure if it was my PBX trying to access that IP or the other way around.

I do have a connection allowing anyone to UDP 10000-20000 snat to my PBX because I have 2 trunks from 2 providers and I haven’t figured out yet how to set snat from 2 IPs.

But thanks for the information.
