Mark,

Interesting use of port 443. When travelling there are a lot of places that throttle encrypted traffic, specifically Thailand and some of the Middle East & Asian countries. From Bangkok was only getting like 1.8kb/sec from vpn but using http was 800kb both from 151, very frustrating. For moving files was easier to send IM and have files emailed.

I'll need to set this up and test it.

Thanks & Hoping,

Mike

Agreed - OpenVPN works like a champ and I routinely use SIP or IAX clients over the tunnel from just about any part of the world. Since it is a tunnel, you can have both tcp and udp traffic over a tcp or udp tunnel. I don't leave home without a openvpn capable system. With OpenVPN, I don't need to worry if the remote network will allow specific protocols - or not.. A rather new feature that works like a champ though proxy servers too is running openvpn on port 443/tcp. You won't find many system operators that won't allow https. Even your web server and openvpn can co-exist on port 443. If openvpn can't decrypt the packet, it simply forwards it to your specified web server. :-) Slick!

OpenVPN is not any more trouble than setting up a tunnel with Putty, and has the advantage of being able to install on windows as a service, so that it's always available to the end user.

Thanks guys. Yes, I pass. Doesn't seem worth the hassle but good to know all that info.

Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] Anyway to connect a soft-phone through an SSH Tunnel?

Hi Bruce,

You are going to face a number of issues attempting this using an SSH
tunnel - one being sending UDP over a TCP SSH tunnel (as Simon just
mentioned), the other being your RDP traffic which normally occurs on a
random UDP port between 10,000 and 20,000.

You are probably better off using OpenVPN or at least IAX for your
remote softphone.

To send UDP over TCP, you would probably need to use netcat to create a local UDP --> TCP bridge and then a TCP --> UDP bridge on your Asterisk
server.

Hi Guys, it's easy to tunnel into any network device by a tunnel from Putty but I am stuck with registering X-lite that way. If I put "localhost:5060" it just gives me an error "method not accepted", etc...would this be possible?
Thanks,Bruce
