Re: [OpenSER-Users] OpenSER as NAT traversal proxy HELP!

Hi Joris! This is a normal home user scenario and usually there is no need for an outbound proxy. Either the SIP UA does NAT traversal (e.g. using STUN)

or the VoIP Service Provider does the NAT traversal on the proxy. As oyu are using iptables NAT it should work this way (except you have certain unusual iptables rules).

I suggest to install "winstun" (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=47735&package_id=…) and test your NAT device. If winstun reports that VoIP should work, then using Xlite should be no problem.

regards klaus
