[Users] Question regarding OpenSER behind NATs with NATed clients

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi,

what you will have to do is to configure openser to advertise in the 
messages the public address and not the private address. As openser will 
not actually listen on the public address, you wil have to use:
    addvertised_address/port
   
http://openser.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=openser_core_cookbook#advertised_address
     record_route_preset()
   http://openser.org/docs/modules/1.0.x/rr.html#AEN165

regards,
bogdan
