      The ASA (PIX) has "Inspect SIP" as default ==> SIP ALG

      The Cisco Modem might have the same stuff (ALG)
      Prob. rewriting the outbound sip packets source ip from RFC1818 to the "Outside/Public IP"

        @bingo600 Yeah, that's why I asked for the config of the cisco and the advice from the SIP provider. They should know every last detail about what NAT, etc needs to happen (ROFL). The advice these days seems to be mostly, "be sure to disable any any SIP ALGs."

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          Thanks for the replies,

          Sorry the provider wont give any details, because they don't want to loss their profit on the cisco router because every month we are billed.

          i only have the IP on that cisco firewall.
          IG0 - 10.200.94.182 /30 going to their modem
          IG1 - 192.168.1.1/24

          but i will try ask them again if they can provide it thanks.

              but i dont know how to Set static mapping in Pfsense .

              I have several pfSense implementations with VOIP phones and other SIP devices behind. Generally these days most VOIP providers do not need static port but there are one or two that do.

                      The local address shown would be my SIP device/client machine. If it is a machine doing multiple tasks then adding the SIP port would be prudent.

                        "Outbound NAT Mode" then should be "Hybrid".

                                @derelict Talked to SIP provider, They know about the config maybe non technical person, by the way sip cisco router model is Cisco 4321.

                                  The LAN device at 192.168.1.102

                                  You need to add your client device as the "source".

                                    Please note that even if your "Wan is 10.200.94.182" , that is not your public ip address (aka the ip address you are seen with on the internet).

                                    Somewhere between your "Wan" and the internet someone is Natting your 10.200.94.182 , to a non RFC1918 ip address.

                                    You could (from a browser behind your WAN) , go to this site : https://www.myip.com/

                                    And it will show what IP you currently are seen as on the internet.

                                    That would also be the ip address that external sip devices (phones/servers) should reply to.
