It’s totally fine. Rtpengine is mainly used to also proxy rtp ie: public to private, etc. But if your asterisk is public, rtps will reach it, and you’re fine with it, go ahead On Thu, 17 Dec 2020 at 11:10, Mihai Cezar <cezar(a)mokalife.ro> wrote:

Hi, Can't figure it out when to use RTPproxy, i am forwarding everything to asterisk in seem to work without RTPproxy. The scenario is like this: Softphone -> INTERNET -> Kamailio - > Asterisk (private ip) Now it seems to work without any rtpproxy but is it ok? _______________________________________________ Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org https://lists.kamailio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users

yes, if your asterisk has statically assigned (NAT-ed) public IP, then you do not need RTPproxy. RTP proxy required when both sides of the call do not have statically assigned (NAT-ed) public IP. On Thu, Dec 17, 2020 at 2:33 PM David Villasmil < david.villasmil.work(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I do have kamailio an public IP and another nic with private IP that connects to the Asterisk LAN. @Sergey I tried that scenario with double NAT, and, it work it. If i choose to go rtpproxy which modules should i load (nat_helper, nat_traversal, rtpproxy) ? On Thu, Dec 17, 2020 at 2:38 PM Sergio Charrua <sergio.charrua(a)voip.pt> wrote:

Another example of when to use RTPProxy / RTPEngine is: SIP user -> router -> INTERNET -> router / firewall -> Kamailio (private IP) -> Asterisk (private IP) Apart from the routers, all other equipments are private IPs, hence being NATed and requiring RTP Proxy / RTP Engine to forward RTP streams to the correct ports. As David Vilasmil points out, security wise, this is the best approach.... but it is a PITA configuring and making all the services work correctly. *Sérgio Charrua* *www.voip.pt <http://www.voip.pt/>* Tel.: +351 <callto:+351+91+104+12+66>21 130 71 77 Email : *sergio.charrua(a)voip.pt <sergio.charrua(a)voip.pt>* This message and any files or documents attached are strictly confidential or otherwise legally protected.

Personally I use NATHelper and RTPEngine modules RTPEngine, afaik, is the latest and upgraded version of RTPProxy (please, anyone correct me if that is not the case) *Sérgio Charrua* *www.voip.pt <http://www.voip.pt/>* Tel.: +351 <callto:+351+91+104+12+66>21 130 71 77 Email : *sergio.charrua(a)voip.pt <sergio.charrua(a)voip.pt>* This message and any files or documents attached are strictly confidential or otherwise legally protected.

They serve a similar purpose, but they're unrelated products and rtpengine is not based on rtpproxy at all. Cheers _______________________________________________ Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org https://lists.kamailio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users
