[Resolved -- Host Name Verification Enforcement] Using OBi200, Register Failed: 404 Not Found as of Jun. 13, 2025

Post by WilliamY »

OBi200, while a sudden, my obi200 can't make any phone calls, and I found that register failed: 404 not found, using voip.freephoneline.ca (5060), voip2.freephoneline.ca (5060) and voip4.freephoneline.ca (6060).

Regards,
William

Host name verification is now enforced.

You can't use "freephoneline.ca" or something that's not an actual host name for proxyserver anymore.

"Porta [the switch/server vendor] recommended to Fibernetics [CLEC/network used by Fongo/Freephoneline] to enable Host Name Verification on Sip Registrations. This was enabled. Marketing sent an email out last month to notify anyone who was IP registered to change to host name on their sip registration."

That also means you can't use freephoneline.ca={voip2.freephoneline.ca,1},{voip4.freephoneline.ca:6060,2},{voip.freephoneline.ca,3}, and you can't enter freephoneline.ca for ProxyServer.

viewtopic.php?t=20534

Do steps 10b, 13A, and 14 A (i and ii), 14I, and 14K.

10b. Dial ***1. Enter the IP address you hear into a web browser. Login. Default username and password are “admin” without the quotation marks.

13 A. Navigate to Router Configuration-->WAN Settings-->Local DNS Records
Use voip4.freephoneline.ca={voip.freephoneline.ca:5060,3},{voip2.freephoneline.ca:5060,2},{voip4.freephoneline.ca:6060,1}

Submit/Save

14 A. Navigate to Service Providers-->ITSP Profile used for FPL-->SIP->
i. change ProxyServer to voip4.freephoneline.ca
ii. change ProxyServerPort to 6060

OutboundProxy and RegistrarServer fields should be blank.

14 I. Enable/check X_ProxyServerRedundancy (you will have to uncheck default box)

This enables server failover as described above.

14 K. Set X_CheckPrimaryFallbackInterval to 7200 seconds (you will have to uncheck the default box)

submit/save and reboot ATA

You're welcome.
I haven't touched/changed any OBi200 config for decades
You will have to now.

voip4.freephoneline.ca={voip.freephoneline.ca:5060,3},{voip2.freephoneline.ca:5060,2},{voip4.freephoneline.ca:6060,1}

What's in bold has to be an actual server name used by FPL, and it should correspond with choice 1 (voip4.freephoneline.ca:6060,1).

And then ProxyServer has to be the same actual server name used by FPL.

So, in this example,
change i. ProxyServer to voip4.freephoneline.ca (what comes before the equal sign)
ii. change ProxyServerPort to 6060 (the UDP port used for voip4.freephoneline.ca)

It's better just to follow the steps in my previous post.

Server failover will still work. You just have to specify the full server name before the equal sign and for ProxyServer.
