 Unifi Talk stop pinging 25 Twilio servers

I found this post to stop pining Twilio servers If you don't use an Unifi subscription.

https://community.ui.com/questions/Please-stop-pinging-25-Twilio-servers-when-UniFi-Talk-uses-3-rd-party-SIP-providers-exclusively/0d5bcbab-908e-4c0c-ad70-fd2f4c5ee0ea

In UniFi Talk > Settings > Advanced Settings there used to be a toggle next to the SIP by UniFi option. This toggle was stuck in the ON position. The result was 25 Twilio servers being bombarded by UniFi Talk's OPTION pings, which occurred every few seconds, and all 25 Twilio servers responding to each and every one of those pings.



I've noticed this traffic as well and I'd like it gone as well. I tried blocking it with firewall rules, but that seemed to cause Talk to think there was a network problem. So far the best solution I have come up with is to use the fs_cli command available in unifi-os to remove the unwanted SIP gateways, but it's not persistent. You could setup a script based on these example commands if you want and periodically run it.

fs_cli
sofia status gateway
sofia profile external_talk killgw _all_
sofia profile external_talk startgw Provider

The "killgw _all_" command would nuke all of the gateways, then you just start the provider gateway that you do want. Alternatively you could enumerate through the list of gateways and kill just the ones you don't want.
