Network Peer Whitelist

The Network Peer Whitelist controls and restricts access to trusted network peers. It enhances security by allowing only approved entities to communicate with the system, ensuring confidentiality and integrity of communications.

The anynode node interconnection assistant has automatically configured the network peer whitelist settings. To ensure that only SIP messages from the selected provider are allowed, we recommend accepting the following default values:

  • Including remote SIP domain

  • Including proxy

  • Allowing only negotiated peers for RTP/RTCP

The network peer whitelist is a crucial feature that enables communication only between selected sources and destinations while blocking all other sources. Only packets from IP addresses in the whitelist or that can be resolved to an IP address are accepted or sent, while all other packets are blocked.

We strongly advise against turning off this feature. Although no SIP Proxy has been set, the option should remain enabled.

Ensure that all components are reachable through the IP network. Unless protected by additional firewalls or routers, it is strongly advised not to disable the whitelist for security purposes.
