Hi All, I was wondering if there is any way to encrypt IAX traffic? I am aware of the ability to use md5 or RSA for authentication, but I'm talking about the packets themselves, after authorization has already occured... Forgive me if this is documented somewhere, but I all I could find online was a presentation with the statement "there has been talk of adding encryption to the IAX protocol". Does anyone know the current status of this i.e. is there any active developement going on? Thanks in advance for any and all pointers... -John

I haven't had a chance to dig in to the source code to infer how to set things up. Perhaps someone more clueful could post a little HOWTO? It's obviously a very, very important feature. B.

If you want something that works right now, just tunnel your stuff through a VPN, like openVPN or something.. -SteveK
