With portforwarding, 1. You need to enable for two ports. (one for signalling and one for rtp(voice)) 2. Settings in the UA must have options to set this two fields. (NATIP and RTPPort)
Then you can make peer to peer calls. Security risks: If someones knows the port details, then they can disturb your communication. sending unwanted packets to voice port, makes voice quality poor. To avoid all these, If you have stun enabled phone, then just only one port forwarding is enough for signalling, rtp ports are dynamically allocated and the natip & natport will be taken from the stun. STUN works fine depending upon the NAT Type between the user agents. For fewer NAT Types, stun will not work.
