      Hi,
      I need some guidance, we have a remote employee in Pakistan that we've set up a connection where he can connect to local resources. Due to his country of origin and the fact he has a dynamic IP our PBX provider cannot whitelist his IP. Is it possible to use the VPN tunnel to route the traffic pointing to the remote PBX?

      Forgive me if this has been asked before and my lack of knowledge on the subject. I appreciate all help I can get.

      Thank you

        I have done that with a different firewall and it worked fine. I set it up with Talkswitch PBX and Adtran router. Once a VPN is set up, it's no different than any other IP connection.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          This would or should work if I’m allowing all traffic over the tunnel. I have it setup as a split tunnel and at the moment only internal resources are accessible.

          Is their anything special I need to do to allow that? The PBX is not local to our network, it’s a remote server outside our environment or control.

          Thank you
