My asterisk box is behind a NAT firewall. I have friends that are on Earthlink, Vonage, etc.
I'd like to make VOIP calls directly to them rather than going through the PSTN. With Earthlink, I can make this work through FWD peeting numbers, but that's sort of a waste of FWD bandwidth. WIth Vonage, it doesn't work. I suspect this is because of the breakage between FWD and Vonage that I saw mentioned on this list. But going through FWD seems like a hack. I'd like to contact them directly using SIP. Obviously this is difficult because of the NAT firewall. I'm running asterisk 1.0.2. In my sip.conf I've got localnet, localmask, and externip defined. If I turn on sip debug, it looks like the packets are getting rewritten correctly. My entry for vonage looks like this: [vonage] type=peer host=sip.vonage.net context=default canreinvite=no dtmfmode=rfc2833 insecure=very I tried telling my firewall to port forward all 5060 and 10000-11000 (my RTP range) to my asterisk box, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Is it necessary? The bottom line is that outgoing doesn't work and I haven't gotten to testing incoming calls yet. Any idea?
