If you have an IP change on your Internet connection for whatever reason, drop outs, or your broadband fails and you failed-over to your 4G or 5G backup, Asterisk (the underlying engine for FreePBX) still uses your previous IP, and because of that, calls fail, inbound recovers, but not so with outbound.
Most of us at some time have heard Solar's useless when cloudy, the sun's not shining, however you do still get some production. If a panel says its output power is 200W, that's its maximum power under standard test conditions, being 25°C, full sun (correctly angled and orientated) measured as 1000W/m² (Watts per square metre), with an AM (air mass - or thickness) rating of 1.5, which is typical in middle of the day, slightly lower early mornings and late afternoons.
FreePBX versions 15,16, and 17 have a critical exploit that is being actively exploited in the wild.
The exploit is believed to be related to Endpoint Manager and the Admin page access. By default EPM is installed. If you have previously uninstalled EPM, you have a fair chance, at this time, of being safe, however, don't be complacent, security has never been high on Sangoma's list, nor has being transparent.
As everyone who owns a UPS knows, SLA batteries, a type of Lead Acid chemistry that's commonly used in UPS's, usually fail after two or so years (the hot and humid Queensland climate helps with this quick demise), often without warning, requiring you to yet again fork out more cash to buy brand new batteries.
In breaking news, Sangoma have announced that Multi Factor Authentication for FreePBX, a commercial module with a hotly contentious ongoing yearly fee, will from April 1 2025, be completely free - kind of, for FreePBX users.
