[asterisk-users] OpenVPN over TCP 1194 rather than UDP 1194 - Is there an adverse effect when running Asterisk?

2010-10-22 Thread Bruce B 
Hi Everyone,

For some reason a few phones connected to a pfSense box can't make or allow
in OpenVPN in port 1194 UDP. So, I established the VPN tunnel on 1194 TCP
and it works fine. I would like to know if there is any disadvantages to
using TCP over UDP for the tunnel when using Asterisk or is just as reliable
and solid as a UDP tunnel?

Thanks

Don't do it.

Here is a possibly evil suggestion, though -- almost nobody blocks port 53.
