[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk VIA SSH Tunnels

[Christopher Jacob]

Thanks for the response... Of course you can SSH in to a machine and run the
Asterisk CL. That is not what I am asking about. Specifically I am asking
about tunneling. (ie establish an SSH session between my machine and the
server, initiating a tunnel on the SIP/IAX ports, and connecting a client
((x-ten or the like)) to the server using "localhost" as the server address)

I know there is a ton of information on Google about SSH Tunnels, and I know
that this is theoretically possible, what I was specifically asking for was
user experience, not a how do I?

I am all about an optimal signal / noise ratio on this list, but just
because a topic was discussed once or twice in the past doesn't mean it
can't ever be brought up again. As this software evolves, things are bound
to change and necessitate revisiting a subject.

Again, thanks for the response!

Anyone have any experiences (good or bad) trying to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Chris

Asterisk has a command line interface that can be called from probably 
any shell. I ssh into my Linux box that runs asterisk then tweak my 
settings/run asterisk -r with no special configuration other than 
actually turning on and configuring the sshd, which should be done anyway.

Are you sure you mean ssh? Could you possibly mean VPN(in all it's 
varieties)?

If you want to know about securing the voip traffic, remove ssh from my 
previous statement and try these keywords:

site:Linux.digium.com ipsec
site:Linux.digium.com vpn

Sugar to taste... (ie, add any other keywords that you think are helpful)
