The simple solution was that I was missing:

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

Which caused replies to outgoing traffic to be stopped in the firewall...

So problem wasnt really related to asterisk at all...doh!!!!

Hello,
After further checking I found that when activating the firewall no traffic is allowed OUT from the box.
Nameresolving, http, nothing accept ICMP works, even though I added:

iptables -A OUTPUT -p all -j ACCEPT

So I think its not related to asterisk at all, rather some iptables config problem... I'll see if I can fix that problem first...thats maybe the reason why it doesnt work.

Thanks for your help anyway...

Best Regards
Goran

I would suggest that you are missing something like:

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -i eth0 -j ACCEPT

This will mean that if a UDP packet is sent by * from sport:2345,
dport:5060, then the response (sport:5060, dport:2345) will be allowed
in, whereas at present that is not the case. I cannot say whether this
type of packet will ever be sent, but I always include the rule for
completeness.

Alternatively, add a "LOG" rule, just before the DROP rule, and see
what is being dropped...

Regards,
Steve

Hello,
I have trouble getting asterisk to work with my new firewall script (see
below).
I used this info as base:
'http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+firewall+rules
And then modified it to suit my needs.

I use only SIP and the problem is that the calls get in to asterisk when the
firewall is activated.
But my agents/phones cant register or receive any calls. So all calls get
stuck in queue on asterisk.
So I believe Im missing some rule perhaps?

Can anyone help me sort this out?

Thanks...

Best Regards
Goran
