The FreePBX Distro has some built in features to allow you to change the Major Asterisk version you are using. To change which Major Asterisk release you are using, log in using SSH and your root password and type:

asterisk-version-switch

You will then be prompted to pick which Asterisk version you would like to switch to. Once the switch has been completed you will be informed which version you are running and that Asterisk is restarting. FreePBX will then perform a reload and re-write all the configuration files based on the version of Asterisk you switch to.

All FreePBX VPS’s and Dedicated Servers are unmanaged and you will receive full root access to your server.

Fail2ban is built into the PBX’s. If you had too many failed logins you can get blocked. You can clear them from the web back end (and white-list your IP) or you can reboot the PBX from the VPS control panel and that clears all the blocks.

Your probably being blocked by the Fail2ban firewall on the VPS.

To whitelist your IP address, click ADMIN -> SYSTEM ADMIN -> INTRUSION DETECTION and then add your external IP address of your Internet connection into the whitelist box and click SUBMIT QUERY.

If your server has been configured to act as an open resolver for DNS service please run the command below. This allows others to potentially use your server to perform DNS based DDOS attacks. You should immediately change the DNS server settings to prevent this from happening.

To resolve the issue, please log in to your server via SSH and run the following command:

echo “listen-address=127.0.0.1” >> /etc/dnsmasq.conf; service dnsmasq restart

View our complete guide on how to update your FreePBX server for detailed instructions. Be sure to perform a backup first.

CyberLynk offers support directly to our MSP’s to help manage and maintain their VPS Hosting cluster. While all of the servers are technically unmanaged CyberLynk does provide support and you can open a support ticket by emailing support@freepbxhosting.com. CyberLynk will need the IP address of the VPS or dedicated server having the issue, the root password and a detailed description of the problem you are experiencing.

You will need one IP address for the SolusVM Control Panel server, one IP address for each of the VPS Host Node Servers and then each VPS you provision will need a single IP address. All of the IP’s will be static and never change. If you ever delete a VPS that IP address will be available to assign to a new VPS.

MSP’s are free to provide any type of hosting they would like from their VPS Cluster as long as it does NOT violate our terms of service. CyberLynk recommends that you only host business related software and PBX type services.
