"Easiest approach would to be to use the VPN IP of the server in the
softphone. "
Yes thats what I am doing. Maybe I didnt make my problem clear.
My VPN and PBX are on the same box, so that which is the public IP of the
VPN is also the public IP of the PBX.
So once my VPN tunnel is setup, I use the same IP in my softphone to
connect to my PBX, but obviously on a different port.
So I am already using the using the VPN IP in my softphone. And it is still
not working.
