      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.

                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
                                type=friend
                                defaultuser=302
                                insecure=port,invite

                                host=dynamic
                                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.

                                    Hello,

                                    I have a specific question concerning logging as my Asterisk seems to often miss the connection to my VoIP provider.
                                    How could I send the Asterisk logging to a syslog server (I have one running in my house) ?

                                    Another solution could be to send the logs to a USB stick. But how ?

                                    Tx for your help !

                                        To save logs to the USB stick I think it would be enough to just change the logdir path in asterisk.conf```
                                        astlogdir => /var/log/asterisk

                                        
                                        For a remote syslog server you can try some tips found on the internet: http://www.savelono.com/linux/configuring-asterisk-for-a-remote-syslog-server.html

                                          Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /usr/local/pkg/asterisk.inc on line 389

                                            With clean package install i am wondering to activate the AEL module , but there is an error.

                                            nxtwall*CLI> module load pbx_ael.so
                                            Unable to load module pbx_ael.so
                                            Command 'module load pbx_ael.so ' failed.

                                            Thanks for your help.
