Change External IP

Whenever the external IP is changed a few settings need to be changed in ViciBox to match. To help facilitate that the vicibox-externip script was added. This script will attempt to auto-detect the correct external IP and insert that into Asterisk. Alternatively, you can provide the new IP to the script when you run it.

vicibox-externip
