OPENSER Integration –- USD$200.00

tog · Jan 13, 2007, 4:14 PM

Ok, I'm in. Let's do it.

I commit $200 to this bounty to get a nice basic working OpenSER package for pfSense to achieve my intended purpose of outbound proxying SIP clients located behind a pfSense NAT gateway.

So what's the protocol here, do I pay out the $200 via paypal after it's done or what?

Yes via paypal, after it's done and you were able to aknowledge that the software works as expected and there are no bugs.

Remember that I am in for the other $200.

Daniel, have you started to work on this project? If so, do you have a tentative time-frame for completion?

Thanks.

Sure I do!

I didn't start working on the project. I have to fix the FreeNAS NFS code this weekend and on monday, tuesday, wednesday I'll try to migrate my server to FreeBSD 6.2. After that I would be able to work on the project.

Daniel,

Maybe I can chip in here. Have a VMWare PFDev up and running and just completed the OpenSer 1.1.1 compile… with all modules and mySQL 4.1 support.
Oh, not looking for any of the bounty, by the way.

would you mind to try whether the MySQL 5.0 client is supported by OpenSER as well?

Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

Once again wondering if you managed to make some progress on this. If so, any timetable for an alpha/beta
package release?

Thanks.

Hello sipster,

in february 2007 I started working at IBM. ATM each open source projects for which I may contribute code - even if doing such a contribution in my personal time - needs a written permission from my manager.

Until I will get such a permission for pfSense, I think it does not make much sense to work on packages.

Anyway you may provide an answer about whether you will need MySQL support to be compiled into OpenSER? My current OpenSER setup does not contain MySQL support. Instead I made a decision to just support unixODBC.

Daniel S. Haischt

sipster · Feb 21, 2007, 4:38 PM

Well,

MySQL support is nice to have for scalability (though it wasn't required). I guess unixODBC is good enough for now.
Do you have a working package at this moment?

Thanks and congratulations on your new job!

In case anyone here keeps questioning "But SIP works behind NAT…" ugh, don't. :P

SIP was never designed for NAT traversal. From my reading, SIP was never intended to handle voice. It's a text chat protocol that got hacked up to do voice and video. IAX (subsequently IAX2) handles NAT nicely. If using Asterisk, I strongly recommend you use IAX2 and not SIP wherever possible if NAT is involved.

That said, anything to ease the pains of SIP/NAT traversal is a very good thing(tm). :)

See http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,3519.msg23348.html#msg23348 for my opinion on SIP ;D

Hi all,
Ever tried http://www.sipwise.com/wizard ? Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but you can generate configs (for OpenSER 1.1.x) in just a few mouse clicks.

Its great to see IBM supporting open source! Talk out of one side of their a** and then act like they are gods gift to linux.

What a joke!

I'm afraid I must retract my OpenSER $200 bounty contribution. This doesn't appear to be happening and I do not want to keep my promise of $200 hanging out there after I have long since moved on and done something else.

hoba · Apr 2, 2007, 5:44 PM

Thank you IBM! >:(

Then I will raise my bounty from 50$ to 200$.
Hopefully this can be done sometime…
