The SIP trace shows messages from what I took to be a suspicious connection from sip:ping@noname.com so I added that IP address to IP
tables…but then anveo showed as unreachable so I removed that rule.

Yes, I’m running fail2ban.

What are these messages from sip:ping@noname.com? The domain name alone set off alarm bells for me. (I was looking for my own registration attempts when I turned on SIP debugging.)

SIP trace:

One thought on - Sip:ping@noname.com

  • It’s just a keepalive from their end to determine that your SIP server is still reachable and to keep open any NAT mappings so you are reachable.
