Has anyone out there found a VoIP client that is citrix compatible? I am connecting to a virtual machine via citrix and want to launch a citrix compatible soft phone to connect to another virtual machine running asterisk. Does anyone have a similar setup out there? Thanks, Javier
You should get an award for coming up with this idea. What for? if you have a computer to connect to citirx, the you should use the computer and *NOT* citrix for the soft client. I don't think that citrix has better compression for sound than VoIP. On 4/18/05, Javier Godinez <godinezj@gmail.com> wrote:> Has anyone out there found a VoIP client that is citrix compatible?

The citrix ICA protocol is fundamentally BAD for audio/video application in general, let alone something as time sensitive as VOIP. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Javier Godinez" <godinezj@gmail.com> To: <Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 12:30 PM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Citrix Has anyone out there found a VoIP client that is citrix compatible?

Citrix is bad for anything for that matter. First and foremost it is not secure as you have to open your PC ports for Citrix to access the remote client. And same is the case for remote client as it Needs ActiveX installation. I have been flooded with Spyware once I did this for a client of mine. Spyware could steal all your call data. There is a better solution that does not need to open any ports. Check this out: http://www.iareanet.net Iareanet solution works without any client Software installation and has better speed and compression.

For one, don't use NFuse, the web based thing, just use the standard client software, then no ports need to be opened on the client. Second, use the strong encryption option, and third, shut down any of the other services on the citrix server box that would use the 1024+ port numbers. You do still have to open up port 80, and a block of TCP ports from 1024 up to how many connections you'll need, but this is common practice for those that host a public FTP server, and I'm sure a lot of people on this list do it for RTP streams. iareanet seems pretty interesting. - Noah
