If you go into iax.conf and comment out the "register= " statement then you will have an unregistered node. You can take out the 'statpost" statement in rpt.conf too. Only thing about unregistered nodes is that you must put the actual IP address in the [nodes] stanza of any other node that needs to connect to it. An easier way is to use a control state with link disable - you can turn that on/off with DTMF and there is no need to sprinkle around the actual IP address everywhere http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/166 GL Ken From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Alan Adamson Sent: Saturday, June 23, 2012 2:58 PM To: 'Don Hackler' Cc: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Is there a way? Wow, Don, why didn't I think of that last one. duh. Leads me to my next question. There is in stanza in the in the rpt.conf file that's called [nodes]. From the description in the rpt comments it would suggest that what needs to be there are *local* only or better *off allstar* nodes, and yet the configuration from the web configuration utility put my allstar nodes in there. So which is it? And would you put the node number there per 3) below? or just in the definition stanza in rpt.conf and the other normal places?

A few options: 1) don't route incoming IAX connections from your router to the server; nothing will be able to connect from outside. 2) comment out the IAX registration for the node in the configuration file; the all-star portal will consider it off-line; connection info will not be published to the system. 3) create a "local" node number that isn't registered with Allstar at all. (For example, use a 4 digit number that doesn't start with 2 or a five digit number in the 1XXXX range) On Jun 23, 2012, at 7:29 AM, Alan Adamson wrote: Curious how I might configure a node to prevent external connections? I have node 12345 that I'd like to be able to connect to from other nodes on the box (local nodes let's call them), but I'd like to not allow remote connections to that node if possible? I searched the archives and found a couple of references, but they looked slightly different.
