I just want a box that I can plug into on the lan of the site that is running asterisk. Then there is no contact with anyone. I can take my office aastra home with me if I want to. And they can call that phone when I am home.

The VPN client box connects to the dynamic hostname. Their IT dept will still need to forward traffic to the VPN server, but that's all they would need to do. They don't even need to have a static IP. For your part, you don't need to know what their IP's are. You could preconfigure a server box with a dyn hostname like "voiptunnel-1" and then provide one or more client side boxes which are already configured to open a tunnel to "voiptunnel-1". If you want to use this client box at a random hotel, then it needs to support being a wifi client bridge and have a simple way for the traveler to set the SSID and/or key. Mikrotik can certainly do the job, but I don't think it would be simple enough for any given business traveler. Just a couple cents. -Adam On 7/2/2018 2:28 PM, [email protected] wrote: OK, but at the far end it would be good to have a small piece of hardware too rather than depend on VPN software running on some random server. I would rather not bother the various IT folks at these different companies that all run asterisk.

You can turn on vpn on the phone. Or do you want an actual desk phone? -sean On Sun, Jul 1, 2018 at 11:33 AM <[email protected]> wrote: I wonder what the simplest and cheapest method is to use an Aastra SIP phone while away from the office. Our Asterisk is on private IP space so I have to have the phone tunnel into my internal LAN. There are firewall boxes available that will do this. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
