[asterisk-users] Two Asterisks behind NAT and need to link them using IAX trunk

[bilal ghayyad]

Hi;

Via OpenVPN or port forwarding is known for me, but
via SSH is new for me, how I can do it and what is the
difference by SSH and OpenVPN?

Regards
Bilal

Good question.  I have never tried tunneling IAX over
SSH but it seems
 like
it should work just like anything else.

How about a port opened up for OpenVPN.  You know you
can run IAX on
 any
port you wish, port 80 may work for you if you have
some extra external
 IPs
not being used for HTTP.  The same is true for
OpenVPN.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
