The phones don't seem to be using the RTP port range specified in 
rtp.conf when they are using SRTP.  When they are using RTP, they do not 
send the RTP traffic via asterisk, though they can do that without the 
ports for this opened in the firewall (perhaps the router uses a 
conntrack helper for RTP; I'd have to find out).

When the phones use SRTP, the ports they're using are all over the 
place.  I'd either have to open all UDP ports for their traffic to go 
via the server or stick to unencrypted phone calls.

There must be some solution for this.  That phone calls are encrypted 
schould be the default, especially since they are all going over the 
internet nowadays.
