This I need it because I am facing a problem with NAT (when asterisk behind NAT), so voice does not run well, so I am trying to use VPN in that case, and I know that for voice open vpn is the best vpn method, but how to has such open vpn client on mobile to use it with fring?

Hi Bilal,

I take it your mobile phone runs some kind of Windows Mobile. As far as
I know, there is no OpenVPN support for that operating system (at least
back when I tried about a year ago I found nothing).

I guess the CPU load of OpenVPN might prevent smooth phone calls
anyway... 

You might try to solve your NAT problem instead.

Best regards
