      I did STF on this issue and I became more and more confused with all of the potential options.
      Here is my issue I installed a Vertical Xcelerator IP and I want to use the IP phones outside of my network I thought this would be a simple task but it is not with SIP.
      I was told by Vertical that UDP/TCP port 5060 and UDP port range 35000 to 65000 needs forwarded and 1:1 NAT needs setup. I have no issue with the port forward but the 1:1 NAT stumps me I also have read that advanced outbound NAT may do the trick.
      And just an FYI I have a dynamic public IP that never changes I have had it for over 2 years I have read that 1:1 NAT does not work with dynamic IP's  now to make this more complex I would like to subscribe to a SIP provider for a SIP trunk and make this work after getting the external IP phone working external.

      Here is my network setup
      PFsence 1.2.2
      external 207.255.XXX.110/24
      internal 192.168.78.1/24
      Ip PBX 192.168.78.30

      If there is anyone that could advise me on the best solution to get my SIP out on the inernet I would greatly appreciate the help.
      Thanks
      Jeremy

          Or, you could look in the packages forum at the 2 different solutions that have been discussed in there ;)

          FreePBX is one of them, which ISTR can be configured as a SIP proxy, which is probably what you want.

            Okay thanks for the info I will go down the freeswitch road.  The acronym ISTR that you threw out there what is that? I STF and googled.
