Agreed - OpenVPN works like a champ and I routinely use SIP or IAX
clients over the tunnel from just about any part of the world. Since it
is a tunnel, you can have both tcp and udp traffic over a tcp or udp
tunnel. I don't leave home without a openvpn capable system. With
OpenVPN, I don't need to worry if the remote network will allow specific
protocols - or not.. A rather new feature that works like a champ though
proxy servers too is running openvpn on port 443/tcp. You won't find
many system operators that won't allow https. Even your web server and
openvpn can co-exist on port 443. If openvpn can't decrypt the packet,
it simply forwards it to your specified web server. :-) Slick!

Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] Anyway to connect a soft-phone through an
SSH Tunnel?
Hi Bruce,
You are going to face a number of issues attempting this using an SSH
tunnel - one being sending UDP over a TCP SSH tunnel (as Simon just
mentioned), the other being your RDP traffic which normally occurs on a
random UDP port between 10,000 and 20,000.
You are probably better off using OpenVPN or at least IAX for your
remote softphone.
To send UDP over TCP, you would probably need to use netcat to create a
local UDP --> TCP bridge and then a TCP --> UDP bridge on your Asterisk
server.

Hi Guys, it's easy to tunnel into any network device by a tunnel
from Putty but I am stuck with registering X-lite that way. If I
put "localhost:5060" it just gives me an error "method not
accepted", etc...would this be possible?
Thanks,Bruce
