We have commented deny/permit lines with ";" character coz we would like to allow users to access server from anywhere. BUT! Asterisks wiki told us:
Be Serious About Account Security
We can't stress enough how important it is for you to pick a strong password for all accounts on Asterisk, and to only allow access from trusted networks. Unfortunately, we've found many instances of people exposing their Asterisk to the internet at large with easily-guessable passwords, or no passwords at all. You could be at risk of toll fraud, scams, and other malicious behavior. For more information on Asterisk security and how you can protect yourself, check out http://www.asterisk.org/security/webinar/. (c)https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Creating+SIP+Accounts
