asterisk users - Jul 2008 - fring (softphone on mobile) and open vpn

Hi All;

Anyone can advise for a method to have open vpn client to be installed on the
mobile, so it can open a vpn channel with Asterisk (I installed open vpn at it)
from the mobile, and then I can let fring use the open vpn channel to do the
communication? This I need it because I am facing a problem with NAT (when
asterisk behind NAT), so voice does not run well, so I am trying to use VPN in
that case, and I know that for voice open vpn is the best vpn method, but how to
has such open vpn client on mobile to use it with fring?

Any advise?
Regards
Bilal

Hi Bilal,

I take it your mobile phone runs some kind of Windows Mobile. As far as
I know, there is no OpenVPN support for that operating system (at least
back when I tried about a year ago I found nothing).

I guess the CPU load of OpenVPN might prevent smooth phone calls
anyway... 

You might try to solve your NAT problem instead.
