Hi, I have successfully configured two OpenBSD ( 4.2 & 4.0 ) Servers to do IXA2 peering on two remote Sites. Now asterisk users on Site1 can talk to users on Site2.
I just would like to know the following details. 1) Currently I have allowed all in coming traffic from "Site1 Public IP Address" on Site2 Server and vice versa. Is that really required? Is it possible to narrow down the access to port 4569 or a fewer no. of ports? What about udp traffic? 2) Is there a Soft Phone available ( Free or otherwise ) that will allow users to chat with each other too after calling them just like in Skype. Also the phone should support call conferencing between multiple users. Linux support is desirable but not a mandatory requirement. It will help me run the same phone with Linux Emulation on my OpenBSD Desktop. 3) Is it possible to do video conferencing with Asterisk? 4) This is a very important one. What are the security ramifications of peering two Asterisk servers on remote locations and sending the VOIP traffice through the internet using IAX2 ? Can this traffic be sniffed and the Voice be captured and heard by any third party? If so is ther a way to prevent it? Is there a way in asterisk to do that or should i be using some VPN technique like IPSEC between the two end points to encrypt VOIP traffic? Thank you so much :-) Kind Regards Siju _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
