Freesentral protects your system against attackers trying to make expensive calls. The system counts the number of calls for the specified prefixes and if counters reach the specified limits, calls for those prefixes are disabled. By default all international calls are counted.

You can disable all international/expensive calls by selecting "disable" in the "International Calls" dropdown. If any of the limits specified in Settings>>Limits international calls are reached then international calls will be disabled. In this case you will see a red box with 'International calls: off' and the reason and time when they were disabled on the home page.

• Exceptions to International Prefixes

You can disable all international/expensive calls by selecting "disable" in the "International Calls" dropdown. If any of the limits specified in Settings>>Limits international calls are reached then international calls will be disabled. In this case you will see a red box with 'International calls: off' and the reason and time when they were disabled on the home page.

You can enable them again by either clicking on the 'Enable' link as seen in the image below or by connecting with telnet to yate and typing 'international on'.

• ReEnable international calls

International prefixes

By default freesentral comes with '00' (Europe international prefix), '011'(US international prefix) and '+' (prefix for numbers in e164 format) as international prefixes. You can refine them and specify just certain expensive destinations and leave the other international prefixes uncounted.

Exception prefixes

Depending on the country you are located in, certain prefixes won't be counted as international even if they match the international ones. Define more refined prefixes for the exceptions for the national prefixes/international prefixes that are often used in your system.

ReEnable International Calls

You can disable all international/expensive calls by selecting "disable" in the "International Calls" dropdown. If any of the limits specified in Settings>>Limits international calls are reached then international calls will be disabled. In this case you will see a red box with 'International calls: off' and the reason and time when they were disabled on the home page.
