Telephone system:fail2ban
If you have a FreeSWITCH instance running on the public net, changes are people will try to exploit it. Fail2ban tries to mitigate this. Alternatively, check this perl autoblock script since fail2ban doesn't seem to work reliably.
For the telephone system, apart from the (mild) default fail2ban freeswitch filter, two additional filters are created.
Make sure the logpath is correct.
