How to Whitelist an IP Address in PBXware

Purpose:
This guide explains how to whitelist an IP address on a PBXware server using its custom firewall script.

Steps:

1. SSH into the PBXware server using its IP address.
   Credentials are in the pbxware asset.
   Example:
   ssh root@<PBXWARE_IP>
2. Edit the firewall script:
   nano /opt/firewall/firewall-pbxware.sh
   
   
3. Add the following line before any DROP or REJECT rules:
   iptables -A INPUT -s %IPADDRESS% -j ACCEPT
   (Replace %IPADDRESS% with the IP you want to whitelist.)
   
   
4. Save and exit the editor:
   (CTRL+O, Enter, then CTRL+X).
   
   
5. Apply the changes:
   /opt/firewall/firewall-pbxware.sh

Note:
Repeat step 3 for each additional IP. This method persists as long as the script is re-applied after any firewall reset or reboot.
