It's complicated?  No more so then Asterisk.

We use, it was quite straight forward to set up and the audio quality

Mosbah,


We use OpenVPN between 3 facilities and Asterisk between them. We have 
OpenVPN on their own systems and Asterisk sets behind them.

I don't think I'd want to run OpenVPN on the Asterisk system directly, 
since it's timing critical.

Re: [asterisk-users] How to use OpenVPN with Asterisk

2007-08-10 Thread Steve Totaro
OpenVPN is a great choice.  It is it's own standard, it does not need a 
RFC, and it is not really complicated at all.

Find a good OpenVPN howto (skip the manual for now).  It will take you 
step by step on how to setup a tunnel.  Once you have your tunnel up, 
start reading the manual (if you care to).

The abundance of Howtos on OpenVPN cover all sorts of configurations.  
You can just have two boxes with a VPN connection or you can even bridge 
two physically separate LANs over a WAN link into one subnet or even do 
routing.

Start with the Howtos.  Most are clear and concise, step by step.  The 
manual is a little steeper as far as the learning curve goes, so I say, 
setup your OpenVPN tunnel first, then read the manual since it will make 
alot more sense then.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

1. get openvpn up and running.  That will give you a secure tunnel
between server#1 and server#2. 
2. whatever it is you need asterisk to do, make sure it uses the tunnel
endpoints for networking.

As far as asterisk is concerned OpenVPN is just another interface. There 
isn't really anything you need to do to asterisk to make it work. As for 
OpenVPN, their site has some excellent HOWTO's on getting started with 
OpenVPN.

If it's purely between 2 Linux boxes, then you might want to look into 
using the TUN/TAP interfaces and running vtund which is far easier to 
setup. See http://vtun.sourceforge.net/

There is no global ideal solution. The solution that is ideal for
*you* depends on many factors:

- What will the tunnel be used for?
- How secure do you want the tunnel to be?
- What is your level of familiarity with linux networking/routing?
- etc., etc.

Pick something - be it vtund, OpenVPN, Racoon, IAX trunk encryption,
ssh tunnels, etc.  Play with it and see if it's something that will
fulfill your requirements.  If so, put it into production and be done
with it.

I think it is the perfect solution after trying several others.  Not a 
huge learning curve and extremely stable.

Both.

You best take any further questions to the OpenVPN mailing lists.
You'll get much better information and help there.

You have to install it on both sides of the tunnel. You will have to
read some docs to get it configured and working. You can learn something
new or you can pay somebody else to do it. It's not easy but it is well
worth learning.

For audio channels, with gsm codec I account 35KB/s (and 25KB/s for 
G729) per side.
With OpenVPN, what bandwidths may I hope?
Is there a big difference in proc usage for such criptography?
