Proactive Traffic Rules

Proactive Traffic Rules are a great way to protect your Vonage account against abuse. We recommend that you review and set up these rules in advance.

Vonage has applied a default set of rules blocking certain high-risk destination countries, which are listed below. You can use "allow" rules to override these "block" rules.

Here are some rules you can set:

• Create "block" rules based on country codes or phone number prefixes, e.g., +44 (UK) or +447 (UK Mobile).
• "Block" or "allow" rules may be created for individual phone numbers. You can block a single mobile number, for example +447970123456, or a smaller range, such as the network prefix 447970.
• "Block" and "allow" rules may be layered. Rules that match a larger set take priority, and where there is a tie, "allow" rules take precedence.

You may view all captured traffic from the alerts section.

Default Block Rules

Below is a table of the high-risk destination countries that are blocked for voice by default. To override these rules, add an "allow" rule using the relevant country prefix.
