Security
One of the most significant advantages of our browser calling solution is security - there’s no need to install any third-party apps with access to your computer or storage. The browser functions as a sandbox, limiting access, while the Vodia telephony portal safely runs within it. Once you’re no longer dependent on external apps, you reduce your exposure to potential malware risks.
Getting Started
To get started, log in to your Vodia PBX web interface - you can use Chrome, Firefox, or whichever browser you prefer. From here, you can click-to-call by clicking on a button or telephone number within the browser - no additional software is needed. And that’s it, you’re up and running.

Even in 2025, area codes remain important for personal and business communications. People move frequently but usually keep their original phone numbers because changing them is inconvenient and tied to banking, two-factor authentication, and multiple online accounts. For PBX administrators, area codes are essential for routing calls accurately, displaying the correct caller ID, and managing costs. Vodia PBX simplifies area code management with pattern-based dial plans, automatic updates, and smart trunk selection. This ensures that calls reach the right destination efficiently, maintain a local presence to increase pickup rates, and provide reliable communication both in North America and internationally.
Vodia’s PBX now integrates with Keycloak OpenID Connect, providing secure single sign-on for users so they can access all connected applications without repeated authentication. Logging out from one application automatically logs the user out of all connected systems, simplifying user management and improving security. Keycloak, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, supports standard protocols including OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML, offering enterprise-grade identity and access management. To ensure proper integration, Keycloak user emails must match the corresponding PBX extension emails. Complete guidance is available in the Vodia Keycloak integration guide.
