I would like to make a suggestion and recommend that you put your Asterisk
box on the outside and let it also pull duty as your firewall/nat router. The
iptables overhead will be minimal on the system and you'll save yourself a lot
of headaches in the long run.
The biggest problem being that having an asterisk server behind a nat, and
then also having sip phones trying to connect to said server across the
internet, which are most likely behind their own nats creates lots of issues.
For instance you'll see that the phone registers with the server ok but cannot
make calls, or you'll have one-way voice issues, etc, etc.
If you need some help getting it set up this way contact me off-list and
I'll give you a hand. I've done it several times this way and its not really
that hard.
Regards,
Steve Cayona

Hello ppl,
I have my asterisk machine behind a Linux Nat router which is connected
to the internet. Please tell me the iptables rules and other
configurations that I need so that a sip phones on the internet can
access asterisk.
Best regards,
Anthony.
