Hi,

Thank you for your clear answer.

Could you elaborate on the concrete risks and constraints of NOT
implementing TLS on a public-facing Kamailio SBC, even with strict IP ACLs
already in place?

Specifically:
1. What can an attacker realistically do if SIP runs in clear text?
2. Are there compliance or regulatory constraints we should be aware of?
3. What incidents have you seen in real deployments without TLS?

Thanks,
