⚠️ Debian has released a security update for CVE-2026-31431, known as “Copy Fail”, which could affect all Linux systems.
If you're on FreePBX 17 and Debian 12 bookworm, you’ll need to run the following via ssh:
1. apt update
2. Check for references to bookworm. If you see anything about trixie, STOP and go here first: https://t.co/Fx7sGfayfX
3. All good? Then run apt upgrade
4. reboot
A reboot is necessary.
If you are on FreePBX 16 and CentOS 7 (SNG7), please restrict public access and prepare for a migration to v17 as soon as possible.

@FreePBX, #FreePBX
Hello.
We are officially launching today as Official FreePBX® Partner for the UK, with @Sangoma Technologies awarding the licence for hosting @FreePBX in the UK.
The partnership reflects the work of co-founders Kieran Byrne and Sam Knowles, the husband-and-wife duo behind @20telecom. Over a decade of trading has taken the pair from telecoms reseller to FreePBX specialists, providing self-managed hosting to businesses throughout the UK.
Kieran Byrne, Head of Product at FreePBX UK, said:
“FreePBX transformed my career. It saved us from a lifetime as a me-too reseller; teaching everything there is to know, ground up. We are now actively returning the favour by helping shape the future of the project.”
The decision to award the partnership reflects 20tele’s reputation within the global FreePBX community, recognised for technical contributions and long-standing engagement with the project.
Lauren Croxson, Senior Sales Director EMEA at Sangoma, said:
“Kieran and Sam have been part of the FreePBX story in the UK for as long as I can remember. Their dedication to the project, and the way they’ve built 20tele around it, made them the obvious choice for this partnership. Sangoma is delighted to be working with them in this new chapter.”
The launch brings to market a hosted FreePBX platform built for the UK, with transparent pricing and a migration incentive for businesses moving FreePBX from other hosting providers. Every FreePBX UK deployment is provisioned in minutes. The platform offers full root access for complete control, paired with self-service VPS management. Hosting plans start at £15 per month, with all tiers running in a London data centre with a free SysAdmin Pro licence, daily backups, and a 99.99% uptime SLA.
FreePBX UK is a Registered Partner with @digitalocean, the cloud platform underpinning the FreePBX UK hosting service. All instances run on DigitalOcean’s AMD-powered Droplets in the London (LON1) data centre, providing low-latency connectivity to UK end users.
To welcome migrating customers, FreePBX UK is offering Take 5: five hours’ support free, limited to one per customer and valid for 12 months. The offer is open to UK-based businesses with an active Sangoma Portal registration, migrating a production FreePBX deployment to FreePBX UK.

VP-En ensures our remote support is completely secure 🔒
Instead of encrypting traffic up until a third-party VPN provider, only then to decrypt and transmit sensitive data across the public internet, VP-En routes right up to and then stays within Vultr's London & Manchester data centres.

Not sure if it's 20tele you’re talking to?
Challenge the Caller and ask "What's my Security Code?".
In the new world of AI and voice cloning, it's extremely easy to be fooled. If you’re really speaking to someone from 20tele, we will end the call or remote session immediately. There will be no further discussion and no delay. We will then await contact from you with absolutely no follow up.
If the caller persists by phone or email, or any other means of communication, then it isn’t us. No matter what the calling number or email address, both of which can be spoofed. You must treat a failed Security Code challenge as a serious red flag and alert us as a matter of urgency, so we can take action to safeguard your account.
There is no Security Code.
Still have concerns? Don't reply, hang up, and call us back at any time on +44(0)20 3355 0247, our dedicated telephone number for reporting security-related issues.
Stay sharp and stay safe, we won't ever be offended.
Challenge the caller isn't a product for sale. It's a way of doing things and something that every telecoms provider should adopt as one.
