Danny, I'd be very interested to hear which countries are blocking IAX2.

If they are just blocking it by port number, you can always configure  
it to
run on a different port. If they are blocking it by content inspection
(unlikely but possible I suppose) you could try turning on encryption.

Personally I'd try doing both the above before going down the VPN route.
However I know folks have VPNs working very well.

Tim.
