[Asterisk-Users] Running Asterisk behind NAT?

[Terence Chan]

Wasim:

Hi! Thanks a lot for your help. I guess the problem is the REGISTER command.
The <Contact> field is using the local IP address instead of the external
IP.  I am just wondering if it is possible to tell asterisk what is the
external IP so that it can be used for the registration.

Thanks again.

Terence

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.
