For Nerd Vittles readers that want a free PBX for your home or business, here&#8217;s the latest and greatest. You get the 3CX Standard License features listed here with up to 16 simultaneous calls for one year.

					<description><![CDATA[Now that many of you have taken advantage of the opportunity to deploy a free 3CX server, it seemed like an opportune time to share what we&#8217;ve learned while deploying 3CX on hosted platforms in the cloud. If you&#8217;ve followed our Nerd Vittles adventures over the years, you already know that our number one consideration with any PBX deployment is security. Without that, you&#8217;re just paying somebody else&#8217;s phone bill.

And today we&#8217;re torture-testing our new 3CX server in the Bahamas aboard one of Carnival&#8217;s 3,000-passenger floating cities. Somebody&#8217;s gotta do it, right? What makes this such a challenging test for any PBX are several things.

					<description><![CDATA[One of the real beauties of Asterisk&#174; has always been its flexibility in talking to other PBXs, both commercial and open source. There are numerous reasons why you might want to try this. First, it makes it easy to migrate to a commercial platform where you can get support for mission critical telephony requirements. Second, you may want a hybrid setup where servers with on-site support personnel can run Asterisk while remote satellite offices can take advantage of a commercial&#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://nerdvittles.com/best-of-both-worlds-marrying-asterisk-to-3cxs-free-pbx-with-a-35-raspberry-pi/">Read More &#8250;</a>]]></description>

And 2016 was certainly filled with surprises including the release of free versions of 3CX sporting the PIAF5 and Elastix 5.0 monikers. That, in turn, produced a wave of FUD from our friends at Sangoma&#174; urging users to return to their open source roots. But guess what?

As many of you know, 3CX has been a platinum sponsor of Nerd Vittles for quite some time so this may not be a complete surprise. The good news is a new Debian-based PIAF5 ISO is now available to ease the installation process for those getting their feet wet with Linux for the first time.

Next, Digium&#174; caved on Asterisk-GUI and adopted FreePBX as their "free" distribution giving Sangoma a virtual monopoly in the Asterisk graphical user interface and aggregation market. And then the fireworks began. There were only two open source and GPL-compliant Asterisk aggregations left: Elastix&#174; and PBX in a Flash™.

					<description><![CDATA[The world of cloud-based computing has profoundly changed over the past year. And today we want to take a fresh look at the cloud landscape for those of you that spend considerable time experimenting or tweaking software applications either for customers or for your own organization. First, a brief paragraph of history. We began our cloud experiments almost seven years ago when Amazon S3 was still in its infancy. At the time, Amazon S3 was a real bargain even with&#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://nerdvittles.com/view-from-the-trenches-a-fresh-look-at-voip-project-development-in-the-cloud/">Read More &#8250;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Some of us have spent years developing secure VoIP solutions for Asterisk&#174; that protect your phone bill while bringing Cloud-based solutions within reach of virtually anyone. So it&#8217;s particularly disappointing when a hardware manufacturer spreads fear, uncertainty, and doubt in order to peddle their hardware. In this case, it happens to be Session Border Controllers (SBCs). We want you to watch this latest "infomercial" for yourself: https://youtu.be/Bp_7m64k_ko To hear Sangoma tell it, every VoIP server protected by merely a firewall&#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://nerdvittles.com/firewalls-and-internet-security-separating-fud-and-fiction-in-the-voip-world/">Read More &#8250;</a>]]></description>

And this week we&#8217;re covering the second SIP gateway offering for Google Voice. We introduced Bill Simon&#8217;s first Google Voice gateway back in June of 2012.

Sangoma Technologies has purchased Schmooze Com with all its assets including FreePBX&#174; on January 1. You can read all about it here and here. Please do.

After all, it wasn&#8217;t that hard to get started since all of the VoIP software was practically free, and the hardware investment was only a few hundred bucks. But now your friends need a way to make reliable phone calls every day, and they want someone to call when the phones don&#8217;t work.&#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://nerdvittles.com/lessons-learned-getting-started-in-the-billion-dollar-voip-business/">Read More &#8250;</a>]]></description>

But the dust is slowly settling, and we&#8217;ve developed a new installation methodology for PBX in a Flash™ which we believe provides everyone with the best of all worlds. Like it or not, Red Hat&#174; is in the driver&#8217;s seat now with CentOS, and Scientific Linux™ already has announced that they plan to fold into CentOS with the 7.0 release.

As you might imagine, swimming pools are major construction and involve a lot of digging. And digging usually means some oops moments when cables get cut. In our case, we had watched the folks digging the trenches for all of the pool plumbing to be sure they didn&#8217;t accidentally whack one of three coax cables coming&#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://nerdvittles.com/a-firsthand-look-at-disaster-recovery-tethering-and-iax-with-asterisk/">Read More &#8250;</a>]]></description>

Both of these vulnerabilities have been circulating in the wild for years.

					<description><![CDATA[View image &#124; gettyimages.com We interrupt our regularly scheduled content to bring you an urgent security alert. A couple days ago, a FreePBX&#174; user reported unusual call activity. He traced the calls to a System Admin Dashboard module that was linked back to an IP address in the Netherlands. When the problem was reported, the FreePBX Community Manager quite accurately noted that it wasn&#8217;t FreePBX code. When a second user reported the exact same exploit, alarm bells apparently went off.&#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://nerdvittles.com/hold-on-to-your-wallet-another-huge-voip-phone-bill-may-be-lurking/">Read More &#8250;</a>]]></description>
