[asterisk-users] IAX Encryption

IAX is not encrypted. What you're seeing in wireshark is likely the
authentication method you've chosen. (RSA or MD5)

You can encrypt it with a VPN as long as you have a pipe fat enough to
deal with the overhead a VPN puts on packets.

I thought that Encryption and Trunking are mutually exclusive in IAX.

What does the iax debug in asterisk show?
