It is certainly possible to configure SER (or one of its clones,
personally I'm using OpenSIPS) to filter out unwanted calls. However,
keep in mind that SER isn't the most user friendly software around,
and, unless there is some GUI I am not aware of, the learning curve is
quite steep even if you are a programmer. It is a "carrier-grade" SIP
router software after all.

Depending on what are the conditions for blocking the calls, what you
want might be easier to achieve with the built-in functionality of
your router.

Best,
