We were able to buy a linksys router and install openwrt on it with
openvpn. That router was a client to our openvpn servers at the main
office (where the asterisk box is) and it was able to route all the
traffic that way with a few extra ip table routes. A possible cheaper
solution (since a router runs about 50 bucks). Only caution there.....
it can get choppy since you are now relying not only on a packet-loss
free connection between your phone and the asterisk server, but now you
have the heavier load of a vpn connection (which might cause an echo or
simply a delay in hearing a voice).<br>

That assumes, of course, that there's Asterisk PBXes at each location.
The post refers to "phy phones," which may refer to hard phones, or
could mean my phones. Not really sure.<br>

Anyway, you can create an SSL VPN that tunnels network to network
connections with hardware network devices. There are tons out there,
starting with little linksys boxes, all the way up to Cisco PIXes. Or
you can use OpenVPN and some IP tables routing, or just about anything
else you can imagine. If you have softphones, you can connect the PCs
through a VPN, as mentioned before.

But I have yet to see a sip hardphone that has an integrated VPN
client. Although it would be nice...<br>
