There are a couple SIP clients in the App store; the first one I tried
(WeePhone) supports STUN but breaks horribly when you try to connect to an
Asterisk server across a VPN connection, which is critical in our case since we
aren't exposing our Asterisk deployments to the public Internet (same reason
why Fring won't work for us).
On the same LAN as the Asterisk server with no intervening VPN it has a few
quirks but seems to work decently enough.
It looks like the problem is that WeePhone registers with Asterisk using either
the local LAN (WiFi) IP address or the public WAN IP address discovered using
STUN [if enabled]; there doesn't seem to be a way to force it to use the VPN
IP when registering, which, of course, makes it nearly useless for my
application - but if you have an Asterisk server with the proper ports exposed
to the public Internet that may not be a problem for you.
Anyone know if this is true with the other SIP clients in the App Store?
