Configuring for Vonage
-
I hope this is the right forum section. Seems like it's a combination of firewalling and NAT that I need.
One of the guys in my office has a Vonage phone that he wants to use. He has it hooked up and it works "sometimes," but sometimes he'll make or receive a call and get no audio.
I've seen some discussion of Vonage here, but I haven't been able to piece together everything that I need to do in order to make it work.
As it stands, the phone adapter is hooked to the network with a static IP address of 192.168.1.21. I have a multi-WAN setup, and I've created a firewall rule on the LAN side that says all traffic from 192.168.1.21 should be routed to one of the three static WAN addresses. But I don't know where to go from there.
Vonage help says the following:
Ports used by Vonage Adapters
The following ports are needed for OUTGOING internet communications from the Vonage device to the Vonage servers:
DNS: Port 53 UDP
TFTP: Port 21, 69, 2400 UDP
HTTP: Port 80 UDP
NTP: Port 123 UDP
SIP: Port 5061 UDP (used for older Vonage devices provisioned before 2005)The following ports are needed for INCOMING and OUTGOING internet communications from and to Vonage devices and servers:
RTP (Voice) Traffic: Ports 10000-20000 UDPDo I have to set up individual routing or firewall rules for each of those ports/ranges?
Anybody have quick and easy instructions that a relative newbie can follow to get this Vonage phone running?
Thanks for the help.

Got this same problem and im still figuring it out, so far im trying 1:1 NAT well see how that goes.

I have no issues, from behind pfsense. I have made no special provisions. I just have the bandwith tuning settings settings.

Here is what I am doing and it works! All parameters are set and performed on the LAN (Firewall: Rules) for ports 10000:20000, 514, 2400 and 69. All ports are UDP!
So it should look something link this:
Proto/Source/Port/Destination/Port/Gateway/Schedule or
UDP/192.168.1.21//10000:20000//*
UDP/192.168.1.21//514//*
UDP/192.168.1.21//2400//*
UDP/192.168.1.21//69//*(Later, you could groups all these ports via Aliases)

Sorry for late post…but I also have vonage, with no special settings, I didn't even touch the bandwidth tuning. It just works with no problems. My setup is Cable modem ---> pfSense ---> Linksys Gigabit Switch -----> all devices, including vonage (no pc plugged to their pc port, just phone)
