[SR-Users] NAT & Firewall Issues

[Moacir Ferreira]

So be careful! When Kamailio finds any end point using private address it will use RTPproxy. Both clients will then send their RTP to the RTPproxy. RTP (Real Time communications) does not like delays, jitter, etc. If your virtual machine does not have good resources, then the voice will be just bad. Kamilio and RTPproxy does not require that much power but the resources MUST be consistent, meaning it will not be affected by other VM running on the system so it will not have delays and jitter.
 I run Kamailio on very low resource systems like 32 bits Intel based notepads with 512M RAM and it works just great... Try installing it on a physical machine. Good luck! MoacirFrom: aelsharqawi at live.com

Hello Moacir, Yes, my Kamailio server is on virtual machine & it’s connected direct to the internet. Regards,Amr From: sr-users-bounces at lists.sip-router.org [mailto:sr-users-bounces at lists.sip-router.org] On Behalf Of Moacir Ferreira

Subject: Re: [SR-Users] NAT & Firewall Issues NATed solutions with no RTP proxies will depend on the client side, not on the server side like in Kamailio. Key things to notice:

1 - Private IPs (RFC-1918) will always be proxied if you don't change the basic template config;
2 - Dual NIC servers require a little bit more knowleadge on Kamailio before you can get it to work properly;
3 - Although you can use some tricky configurations, Kamailio is not a SBC like Asterisk/Freeswitch;
 
Having said that, RTPproxy is just good. I mean, it is really good! If it is not working, then you probably have another problem. So the questions are: Are you running your system on virtual machines? What is your topology? How many NICs do you have? Your Kamailio server is connected direct to the Internet or behind a firewall?
 
All the above questions can strongly affect the quality of your calls.
 
Cheers!

Subject: Re: [SR-Users] NAT & Firewall IssuesThanks All,

Yes, please if you've an example using nathelper without rtp proxy let us know.

now more than ten days I am trying to get kamailio up & running to bypass NAT & firewall blocking but I couldn't.

After some research I might create a VPN.

so please if you have any working example for NAT and Firewall let us know.
