Ver 15.5 enterprise, internal extensions and external softphones / extensions. I have had this question for some time now and cannot seem to get a good handle on how this works. If the IP BLACKLIST is simply a list of BLOCK or ALLOW, then ok. What I do not know how the list internally works. Does ALLOW take precedence over BLOCK, like a firewall would work (not to imply that IP Blacklist is supposed to act like a firewall). An example would be if my SIP provider uses several different IP addresses in the 207.22.x.x range and I setup an ALLOW filter for these addresses - and I am getting bogus attempts to register from different IP addresses in the 207.x.x.x range. If I ADD a BLOCK to the entire 207.x.x.x range, does the ALLOW 207.22.x.x filter take PRIORITY over the BLOCK 207.x.x.x filter and allow my SIP provider to PASS. I hope I explained this clearly.

Hello @ffremaux

Please note that Allow does take precedence over Deny just like a firewall (but should not be used as one) so in your example the Providers IP addresses should be allowed.
