      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

                                          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

                                            As a workaround, all you have to do is keep the comment line "demo extension for pfSense" present in the conf file, but delete the demos themselves. The script only checks for the string "demo extension for pfSense", if it's present, it doesn't add anything.

                                            I can't seem to reproduce this problem in my setup though. If I delete the whole thing, it keeps it deleted after reboot too.
