I'm using standard IAX port 4569 to register, so this port is open on my
firewall.
But when I catch an open public wifi network in a Mall or a Tim Horton
"zoiper" failed to register.
Do they block outgoing ports of public WiFi networks? What are my
alternatives?
I can open any port on my DD-Wrt and redirect it to my Asterisk server.
Quite often happens in this part of the world. I run an openvpn ssl vpn
on port 443 with an ssl multiplexor on the server end - route all the
voip traffic through the vpn. Doesnt work well if bandwidth is really
constrained but its the difference between having at least something or
nothing at all.

I do run VoIP over vpn but that is between two points on cable connection and it works very well.
But running vpn over wifi plus VoIP will not work very well if at all. Voice will be very choppy.
