      Did you have to make rules for Voipo ?

        Yep

        Inbound rules with the phone as the destination.

        Server SIP and RTP ports. No port forwards only firewall rules. I do it with all my customers.

        Otherwise SIP traffic can sometimes look like unsolicited traffic and get blocked.

            Looks like the device connects via a VPN..

            https://support.ooma.com/home/problems-connecting-to-setup-ooma-com/

            Follow this and see. You have to plug into their port.

              Setup static port on your OOma device address.

              Instead of port 5060 in this article do it for port 1194

                OpenVPN shouldn't care about the source port. If they have broken OpenVPN that's an achievement!

                However it won't connect at if it's not pulling a DHCP lease. The logs you showed seem to indicate it did pull an IP assuming your have confirmed 00:18:61:2e:8e:7f is the Ooma device?
                Does it show a current lease in Status > DHCP Leases?

                Check the states it has opened. Go to Diagnostics > States and filter using it's IP address, 10.15.15.2 if it has not changed.
                Show us what states are open for that if any.

                  Im trying to remember but I believe this would not be the first time someone did..

                    Ha, well I could certainly believe that! But OpenVPN is what you choose when your device has to be able to plug into any router and connect out as Oooma does. If they broke the server end so it required a static port that would be some spectacular foot-shooting. 😉
                    It would also limit them to just one device per public IP which seems like a bad decision.

                      Many VOIP providers skirt this by sequentially numbering the ports. My phone uses 5060, 5062 and 5064 for my three lines right here.

                      My guess is that if someone wanted more than one OOma device at their house then support would do something similar with their VPNs. I wonder how many do though. Or how many lines that OOma device can do?? two or possibly three depending.

                      There is a saying that a Ford engineer will step over 20 hookers to screw a mechanic.. Sometimes I believe the same about software and system engineers and IT personnel..

                            ok, Ooma ip isn't showing in diag/states/Wan or in its own Lan. But, roku and fireTv's show up in both logs, So WTF ?? The device shows its got an internet connect, but no vpn or tunnel. And i changed it to static ip on device. But old or new ip, neither shows up in logs i already said and checked.

                            Think i'm gonna call it a night now.

                            Thx for the help so far.

                              Hmm, well if it's getting an IP but not opening any states then it's either just not trying to connect or being blocked.

                              Check Status > System Logs > Firewall for any blocked traffic from the Ooma IP.

                              Ultimately running a packet capture in Diag > Packet Capture on the interface it's connected to and filtered by it's IP.
                              That will show you what it's doing, if anything.

                                    Unclear if those are blocks but if they are and 10.15.15.2 is the Ooma device then it looks like it's connecting on LAN (should it be?) and is being blocked for outbound TCP.

                                          Ooma needs those ports outbound not inbound. You shouldn't need any of those ports forwards.
