[asterisk-users] OT - Desktop SIP phone with OpenVPN client

[Ken D'Ambrosio]

Not sure why you'd say it's OT -- seems perfectly topical to me.  
Anyway, I have used the SNOM OpenVPN feature for remote clients.  I'll 
be honest: it's a bit of a pain to set up and get working.  This is 
triply true if the remote phone is moving around -- to the point that 
I'd strongly advise against it.  But if it's staying in one place (e.g., 
a telecommuter's desk) once it's at the remote site, it should do the 
job, and reasonably well.

It certainly can use DHCP, though I rather doubt it needs it -- not 
quite sure what you're angling for by way of your question.  WiFi was a 
PITA; I'd advise against.  (Esp. since -- at least, at the time -- you 
needed to download beta firmware to get both WiFi and OpenVPN working at 
the same time.)

Note that I haven't touched this in about two years' time, so things 
may have changed a bit in the interim.
