Hi, Greetings to All, Im looking for some help on configuring VPN on the Asterisk PBX that I have hosted in US. Im currently in Middle East and as everyone knows some countries here has taboo to VOIP. Im not able to get phy phones registered to my PBX as they are blocking SIP and IAX2. Hence im looking for a VPN solution. For this first i need to setup VPN on my server .. Am i right? Well if anyone has experience in the whole setup how to make it run, a guide would be much appreciated with some pointer to equipment that are wel suited for the setup. Thanks in advance. Danny

It's easy to setup and has many features. -- Dominik Zalewski | System Administrator OpenCraft t- +2 02 336 0003 w- http://www.open-craft.com

If they are just blocking it by port number, you can always configure it to run on a different port. If they are blocking it by content inspection (unlikely but possible I suppose) you could try turning on encryption. Personally I'd try doing both the above before going down the VPN route. However I know folks have VPNs working very well. Tim. Tim Panton www.mexuar.net www.westhawk.co.uk/

Real easy to setup and it works fine. http://www.openvpn.net -- Michiel van Baak michiel at vanbaak.eu http://michiel.vanbaak.eu GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x71C946BD "Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?"

With webvpn you can connect to port 80 and circumvent such trouble. I tried finding an easy HOWTO for OpenVPN, on a CentOS box, this is not easy at all.
try vtund. http://vtun.sourceforge.net/ its a userland tcp implementation... not the safest thing around, but should be secure enough for what you are looking for, and pretty simple to implement. cheers, --nvieira On Jun 18, 2007, at 7:37 PM, Remco Barendse wrote:>> Hi, >> >> Greetings to All, >> >> Im looking for some help on configuring VPN on the Asterisk PBX >> that I >> have hosted in US.

You do NOT want to send realtime audio over a TCP connection.
