[Asterisk-Users] Running Asterisk behind NAT?

[wasim at convergence.com.pk]

Yes, you can run Asterisk behind a NAT.
NO, you CAN'T (reliably, easily) run SIP behind a NAT.
For FWD think about using their behindnat and fwdproxy addresses.
Maybe a STUN would help. Also, test your setup infront of NAT also, make 
sure they work, before you head behind a NAT.
