[SR-Users] Connecting UAs behind Firewall/CgNat with Kamailio without using a Stun Server

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

Kamailio can help with NAT traversal -- there are couple of options, one
of the most common deployments is using nathelper and rtpengine (or
rtpproxy).

A similar solution is provided in the default kamailio.cfg, just look at
WITH_NAT ifdefs to figure out the related parts:

Cheers,
Daniel

Due to "lack of IP address issues" most providers use private ranges separated by CGNAT from the real Internet.  This causes a lot of trouble. In some cases stun server entries on the clients helps, in other cases don't!

Without stun you find the Local Address in the SIP packages, and with Stun the external Address but mostly with the wrong portnumber, but in the IP header you'll find the correct IP:port.
