[Serusers] rtpproxy + nathelper problem

Yes. My router is symmetric.

My problem is, if I set sipura SIP port to 5060, the registration port
will be 58698. My ser is listening on 5060. I can make call.

If I set the sipura sip port to some other values (e.g. 80), the
registration port will be that value (e.g.). Still I can make call.

Do you have any idea?

It must be symmetric, meaning not only does the port 58698 have to remain open but SER must be able to communicate with your device on that same port. This is of course a common problem with NAT's.
