Hi Lloyd,

I don't know of a solution for your specific issue, but I thought I'd at least suggest an alternative that I currently use.

I have this setup:

Network 1
-----------------
- Asterisk Server running with a private IP address - avoids security issues with SIP registration, since my setup 1.4.x doesn't support registration over TLS/SSL.
- pfSense openvpnserver

Network 2
-----------------
- Several soft and hard IP phones behind pfsense openvpn client

The two networks are joined using a SSL VPN over UDP and I can have as many devices in either network.

I know this is not a direct solution to your requirements, but thought I'd suggest it as an alternative. It also has the advantage of securing your currently public Asterisk server.

Hello,

I am having trouble to configure the pfsense. Any help appreciate.

I am using the most recent pfSense 1.2-RELEASE built on Sun Feb 24 17:04:58 EST 2008

Newtwork 1
-----------------

- Asterisk server running with a Public IP address. No Firewalls.


Network 2 with pfSense
----------------------------------

- Two Astra Phones behind the pfsense firewall trying to register with the Remote asterisk server.

- Only one client can connect at a time?

- But when I use a Linksys or snapgear it works works for me.


Is this a pfSense Limitaion related to SIP or Am I missing something in the pfsense settings ?


Also I find the following from the pfSense web site ... www.pfsense.com -> info -> features

SIP Limitation - By default, all TCP and UDP traffic other than SIP and IPsec gets the source port rewritten. More information on this can be found in the static port documentation. Because this source port rewriting is how pf tracks which internal IP made the connection to the given external server, and most all SIP traffic uses the same source port, only one SIP device can connect simultaneously to a single server on the Internet. Unless your SIP devices can operate with source port rewriting (most can't), you cannot use multiple phones with a single outside server without using a dedicated public IP per device. The sipproxd package will provide a work around for this issue, and is currently under development.

Any help help appreciate.



Thank you
Lloyd
