Great news! I'm very glad to see someone working on this, which I've been wanting to do for years, but clearly failed to. Woohoo :) > Since you will be using UDP settings anyway, then IMHO concentrating on > serverless > options are probably the better way forward as it lessens the burden on users. Full ACK. I'm personally wary of encouraging users to put trust into yet another server, hence my interest in OnionCat: I've been maintaining it in Debian for years, in the hope it can be useful for such uses; glad to see someone trying it out! > 1.

We've made it work 2-3 years ago in Tails, but I'm afraid I don't remember any of the details. Are you actually seeing reject logs from the firewall, that indicate it's the culprit? > 2.

As one can see in the source package, Wheezy's 0.2.2+svn553-3 doesn't apply any patch on top of the upstream source. If needed, I can rebuild and upload Jessie's 0.2.2+svn559-1 to wheezy-backports. > What firewall precautions are needed to cope with this situation if necessary? No idea. I would instead look into handling the authorization and authentication in the VoIP client instead.
