yes, actually 'nat_flag' parameter its uncommented lines above, as I told in
my last post this configuration works very well, in fact I'am  using it in
a production  sip proxy that serve lots of UA´s like Linksys-PAP, Sipura,
Addpac, X-pro, Snom phones and asterisk, With those UA´s that support STUN
there is no problem because my Stun can find its public ip/port and then
openser will not detect a NATed client and do not enforce
rtpproxy/nathelper, the problem appears only for UA´s behind same nat and
this nat doesn't support hairpinning (send back data in the source direction
to reach the target), so this new solution using avp in combination with
nathelper and STUN will cover a 100% of Nated UA cases and I´d like to
complete and share my configuration that support other useful features the
can be useful for this community, I will appreciate your help in this issue.

thank you
Rafael
