I've got an Asterisk server, and several SIP phones behind our router here. Things are working just perfectly inside the network, just as the should. However, I'm not trying to configure my asterisk server to talk with SIP services outside our network, once such example is my gizmo project account. This isn't working out to well. Would it be useful to have a SIP proxy outside of my firewall that then interfaces with both my asterisk server inside the network and whatever else outside the network? Or am I trying to find a solution in all the wrong ways? So far, voip-info.org and google have told me what I want to doesn't work, but can't find anything good on what does work. Much appreciate your guidance. -jonathan

No, you don't necessarily need a SIP proxy for this. Furthermore, while a SIP proxy might assist with certain SIP-level reachability issues, it will do nothing for the actual audio (media) if there are NAT issues that prevent that from getting through. As the other reply said, "this isn't working out well" needs some explanation. Jonathan Moore wrote:> I've got an Asterisk server, and several SIP phones behind our router > here.
