      The ports in the answer worked perfectly on my previous software firewall IPFire. pfSense is just more tightly programmed.

      1:1 doesn't work either. the firewall still blocks it.

      even when i try this

          Have you tried a Static port?

            there are heaps of states from that device... but it also runs other services from my provider. the IP address to the sip server shows up nothing.

                Remember that when you make a change and it somehow registers then you have to sometimes wait for the registration to clear out of your providers server..

                One thing I had to do at one point was to turn on TFTP proxy on so that some of my devices could get their config files.. That one stumped me for a bit.

                But if it already has its file I wouldn't see that as an issue. If it has registered ever it should.

                  Its coming from the firewall at that port. Thats a randomized port that the firwall does by default. Thats what the static port would stop.

                      Its trying to report back to where its told to go. If you do a static port that will change.

                        Do you have any WAN rules pointed at 10.0.0.150 now?

                            Create a WAN rule with source (their server) destination 10.0.0.150 any on the ports.
                            Put it on top of all your rules.

                            Log the rule..
                            wanrule.jpg

                            Then if anything is happening between the boxes then it will show up in your firewall logs.

                                Now you need to find out where your RTP comes from.

                                Make a call and watch the states. When you call out it will probably connect to a different server.. Some do some dont. Depends on the carrier.

                                If you look at my WAN rules above from 30 minutes ago you will see that I have rules for RTP for at least a couple of different locations.

                                    Looks like the inbound SIP port for you is 5065..

                                    Your RTP is most likely somewhere other than at 5004 then.

                                      Do a packet capture of your device from the firewall while making a call..

                                      or you can go to status/status graph and set it for remote. See what is constant while the call is in progress.

                                        Still watching. Looks like you guys are getting close.

                                        The 1:1NAT rule we tried some time back should have taken care if the static outbound NAT and allowed back any traffic as long as you had firewall rules to pass it.

                                        The fact you were seeing the reply traffic blocked at all shows the states had closed. The keep-alives my be too far apart, or not there at all.

                                          Hi,
                                          I have this same problem with Telstra SIP and pfsense. Outgoing calls work but incoming calls don’t work.
                                          Packets seem to get to the WAN interface of pfsense, but go no further.
                                          I will try another firewall in the next few days to confirm that it is indeed pfsense that is causing the issue. Then I will go back to pfsense.
                                          Tried just about everything I can think of.
                                          Cheers
                                          Chris
