A Murmur server is fairly easy and quick to install, and you get text and audio encrypted by default, the mumble client is very user friendly also. The good old Jabber(XMPP) might be another option with empathy as client. or even easier make an IRC channel on freenode you can limit the access, and the user can simply use the web interface[1].

It is easy to install, to configure and to maintain. Then your customer has to install a client and to create an account (or you can create it for him). Lots of friends have jabberd, it is also a good solution. JC signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I access that server via IPSEC but afaik and see from the config it accepts connections from all IPs/networks per default. # c2s.xml id register-enable='mu'host.my.tld/id and I can correctly ping/access that FQDN from here. *scratch* I tried thunderbird and empathy as clients and entered s...@host.my.tld as user ... and a new password ... do I understand that correctly ??
