Securely Exposing FreePBX for Remote Access with a Focus on SIP and RTP Ports (alien.top)

Hi, due to a very extensive project, we need to expose FreePBX to the internet. Specifically, we are concerned with the SIP and RTP ports. The purpose of this action is to allow logging into the system using softphones and configured phones without the need for VPN.

In the past, I noticed that exposing port 5060 results in numerous brute force attacks where the attacker tries to impersonate an extension that exists in the system. However, due to the lack of a password, they are unable to make a phone call. Does an attacker, without knowledge of the extension password, have the ability to make calls at the expense of the client?

Ports such as 443, 80, 22, etc., will not be exposed to the world, only the ports required for telephony.

coustom script, it's a bash script that looks at fail2ban logs, then adds an ip address to the firewall block list.
