[SR-Users] Familiar topic about Kamailio with Asterisk behind NAT

[Ovidiu Sas]

If you have kamailio bound to both private and public interfaces, then
you need to run rtpproxy in bridge mode (vanilla rtpproxy).
Another option is to get rid of the rtpproxy altogether and let
asterisk handle the media, but you will need to make sure that:
 - kamailio is rewriting IPs in SDP provided by asterisk;
 - you perform port forwarding for the NATed RTP ports to asterisk.

Also, you need to be more specific about the client trying to connect
to the private address of asterisk. Are you referring to media? In
this case it seems that you didn't engage rtpproxy. Is it about
signalling? Then you might deal with a bogus SIP client.

Take a look at other clients that are working and find out why this
particular one doesn't work.

Regards,
Ovidiu Sas
