Astaro does not support SIP in the PacketFilter

Hi,

I required a firewall which supports the SIP protocol.
Although V6 now support a SIP proxy, I required the firewall to support the SIP protocol in the Packet Filter, which from my answers from support, Astaro v6 does not.

What would be required is for the firewall to support SIP, and open the RTP ports automatically) from reading the SIP protocol messages.
I will have to go with a different firewall because Astaro lacks this feature.

Example:

Public SIP Server A sends SIP packets to Server B which is behind the firewall in a DMZ network. The firewall if configured to allow SIP packets from Server A to Server B also opens the correct RTP IP addresses / Ports to Server B

Rgs,
Gerard.

I'm using a SIP VOIP phone on ASL 5.2x, and I was able to get it working with just PF rules.

I do also have a NAT rule for TFTP firmware updates, but I don't think it's really necessary.

You *can* set allowed networks in the SIP Proxy config.

Hi,

For what I am trying to achive, the SIP proxy is not a solution.
I require mutlipe SIP calls from an public SIP Server to load balance across multiple DMZ SIP Servers. The SIP Proxy Server cannot do this.

Rgs,
Gerard.
