[VOIPTALK] Does VitalPBX support outbound proxies?

Thanks for your reply.

I have looked everywhere for the solution to the outgoing proxy. I have found instructions for connecting to an Asterisk server as follows but with no luck

[general]
	register => 844XXXX:xxxxx:844XXXX@voiptalk/844XXXX
	
	[voiptalk]
	type=friend
	username=844XXXX
	secret= xxxxx
	dtmfmode=rfc2833
	host=voiptalk.org
	;Below is will be the context you will use to receive incoming calls in extension.conf
	context=voiptalk_incoming
	outboundproxy=nat.voiptalk.org
	port=5065
	fromuser=844XXXX
	fromdomain=voiptalk.org
	usereqphone=yes
	canreinvite=no

The proxy never shows as connecting in the logs the only error I get is the following;

I have connected with a 3CX system no problem but prefer VitalPBX as its cheaper ? 

Thanks for your indepth reply. It seems that you are avoiding the use of a proxy and therfore reliant on the port forwarding from the router.

By using an outbound proxy there is no need to use port forwarding and the possible security implications that in entails.

If this is the only way of making it work I may look into what is needed but it does mean a lot of forwarded ports.

Thanks

I have recreated the Trunk with exactly the same settings as you have shown using my account/password and the phone as usual dials out with no problem and the sound can be heard ok from both directions.

The issue seems to be that I dont get any inbound calls. Do you have port forwarding set on your router or does your pbx sit on an external IP address?

Thanks
