      It's broken again, sent you a PM with the reason why.

      Can you check again with latest changes?

        The Asterisk package works now with pfSense 2.1. both full setup and NanoBSD.

        It includes a web interface for issuing basic or custom commands to asterisk console, calls log, system log, configuration files editing option, configuration directory backup and restore option.

        By default when installed on pfSense it's preconfigured for SIP operation, and has got two demo extensions, 301 and 302 which allow testing with real IP phones or softphones through the LAN interface.

            You need to compile it on freebsd 8.3

              How cool… One could use Asterisk to place directly mobile calls through a supported 3G modem.

                Yes. I've tested it on linux and it works. The problem I had way with usb power supply for multiple 3g modem and power boot sequence some times.

                  Hi Marcelloc,

                  First, thanks for your great work again…
                  I was running a FreePBX server behind Pfsense, however it seems there are some NAT problem and I can't find any solution for that.
                  Then I tried your Asterisk package, it works perfect  :D. The only question is it's difficult for me to edit the configurations... :-[
                  I read your post and you have installed Asterisk-gui successful before, I am now sure it's still working for latest pfsense 2.1?
                  Can I ask you to post a guide here?

                  Thanks

                    I've not tested it on 2.1 yet and freebsd port is still pending.

                        if it is only to modify the config file directly, you can do it this way (if you use windows) :

                        • enable SSH in "System" -> "Advanced" - > "Admin Access" and check "Enable Secure Shell"
                        • use WINCSP to access the files in /conf/asterisk/

                        that's the way i modify my conf files for asterisk.

                        I hope the GUI will be ported soon. :) Will be good to have a complete GUI to manage configuration.

                          Why don't you use edit configuration tab? ???

                            I am running the Asterisk 1.8 package on pfsense 2.1 and have the following issues:

                            Everytime I reboot pfsense the following (demo) configuration text is added to sip.conf

                            ==>

                            [301]
                            ;demo extension for pfSense
                            type=friend
                            defaultuser=301
                            insecure=port,invite
                            secret=1234
                            regexten=301
                            host=dynamic
                            context=default

                            [302]
                            ;demo extension for pfSense
                            type=friend
                            defaultuser=302
                            insecure=port,invite
                            secret=1234
                            regexten=302
                            host=dynamic
                            context=default

                            <==

                            Everytime I reboot pfsense my call history is lost
                            Everytime I reboot pfsense my Asterisk log file is empty
                            Everytime I reboot pfsense my personal voicemail message is gone

                            Are there any sollutions to my above problems

                            Thanks in advance

                                          Not sure about voicemail but I keep logs and cdr after reboot. Still using 301/302 but no changes to them and 303+ externals are fine, no re-addition of demo extensions.

                                          Working nicely on fresh 2.1 with raid1 (shouldn't matter). I have 2 lans on LAN and OPT1 and set localnet for both to pfsense's IP on those nets. Also doing 1:1 on WAN VIP to OPT2 so thinking of trying to get SIP to pass through tot that on a theoretical setup where pfsense handles some lans and passes an external IP to another lan that has it's own asterisk for whatever reason or just one phone talking to another outside asterisk or provider that has to be on 5060 as well.

                                          Is there  any explanation as to why jitterbuffer is on for PFSENSE's asterisk? I get why allowguest isn't… just curious about jitterbuffer.

                                            Well I finaly figured it out

                                            In /usr/local/pkg
                                            there is the a file called asterisk.inc
                                            It contains the following code wich is causing my issue of the demo extentions being added after a reboot

                                            ==>

                                            if (strpos($script_file,'demo extension for pfSense') === false) {  //first check if already added…
                                                                            $add_demo_extension = << <eof<br>[301]
                                            ;demo extension for pfSense
                                            type=friend
                                            defaultuser=301
                                            insecure=port,invite
                                            secret=1234
                                            regexten=301
                                            host=dynamic
                                            context=default

                                            [302]
                                            ;demo extension for pfSense
                                            type=friend
                                            defaultuser=302
                                            insecure=port,invite
                                            secret=1234
                                            regexten=302
                                            host=dynamic
                                            context=default

                                            EOF;
                                                                            $script_file .= $add_demo_extension;
                                                                            file_put_contents($script, $script_file, LOCK_EX);
                                                                    }
                                            <==

                                            Please fix this in the next release
                                            Thanks in advance
