Hi all. I volunteer at non-profit that's been using 3CX for at least 10years. It's the free selfhosted version, which is running the latest version. I inherited the system and have been maintaining it as issues come up.

About 6 years ago, the original mini pc failed so I replaced it with a used one that I found on Craigslist. I simply reinstalled the system and restored the backup to get it going again.

Not only do I donate my time, but I also donate the hardware when needed since the non-profit can't afford it.

Lately, I've been seeing problems that lead me to believe that the hardware is about to fail. I have full backups hosted on OneDrive so I'm not worried about having access to them.

They currently have a 4 SC free license with 15 extensions using older Yealink desk phones and one iPhone app. The license is valid and works great.

What would happen if I were to replace the server machine and use the existing backup to restore it? Would that change the license? Would they lose the 15 extensions down to 10? Would there be anything else that I'd need to consider?

I did a port scan on my ISP-assigned public IP and it showed the following open ports: 21, 80, 443, 554, 1723, and 8443.

I know what the ports are for. However, I haven’t forwarded any of them. My device is also not double NATed so I’m confused as to what this might be.

The UDM connects directly to the ONT via Ethernet.

The IP address is what’s shown directly on the UDM dashboard.

I have checked my firewall rules and UPnP settings (off) on uOS 5.1.15 and Network 10.4.57.

FWIW, I used Fing on a cell line to scan it.

Is this normal? How would I close them? Should I be concerned?

EDIT: this appears to have been a false-positive. Even though Fing still shows those ports, grc.com and dnschecker.org show them as closed.

I’ve had my doorbell for a few years with a Ring Protect subscription.

Out of blue, it started showing non-stop “live view” recordings. They last approx 10 minutes and start again. This means it no longer detects events since it’s constantly recording.

Is this a bug, a new feature, or something that an update turned on? This started in the middle of the night and it’s been going non-stop.

Anyone else run into this?

I gave 2 award tickets to family that will not be traveling with me on the way to our destination. I used my Quest card to pay for the taxes and fees. On the way back, we'll be on the same flight, so I've moved them to Econ+ next to me.

Because of my status, I automatically get Econ+ on all my reservations. I have these 2 "Global Economy Plus seat upgrades" that most likely will go to waste since I'd never personally need them.

Can I apply those upgrades to their reservations on the way to our destination while they travel there without me?

I tried applying them and see that I'm being charged $219.98 for the seats.

I read somewhere that I'd get that back from Quest if I used them, but would that apply to using them for family members instead of personally using them?

Anyone know?
