Also, I assume the wizard only prioritizes the SIP port? Does it prioritize
any other ports like the IAX ports, RTP and so on?

The asterisk setting prioritizes
UDP 5060-5069
and
UDP 10000-17226 (no idea why - SIP maybe?)

This may help:

UDP 10000-17226 is for SIP RTP, I have no idea what RTP is but is has to do with the fact that SIP and "Non SIP Aware Firewalls" do not get along very well. Basically things happen with SIP where you can never guess which of the ports within this range it will use at any one time, so... The only choice if you need SIP is to leave the whole range open, stinks but it's the only solution from what I understand.

I have hear some buzz about "SIP aware" firewalls which deal with SIP in some other way.

Anyhow, from what I understand it's not 10000-17226 that it uses, it's 10000-20000 but I could be wrong.

Questions:

1- Is there any reasonably easy way for me to add the IAX (5036) and IAX2 (4569) ports to the prioritization after I run the wizard?

2- Can you possibly ad these ports to the wizard so they will just work when you select the Asterisk option?

Pretty much anyone with an Asterisk server behind PfSense will be using the IAX protocol.

Thanks!
