Hello
I have recently started to look at FreePBX and so far I like what I see. I can also see that a perfect phone to pair up with FreePBX is a Sangoma model.
If possible I would like help with the below general questions I have:
-
Has anyone got any thoughts/feedback for hosting FreePBX within an AWS instance rather than on site. Does this work well with handsets registering with a PBX in the cloud?
-
I understand the main benefit to enable the VPN feature for the handsets, that is, the extra layer of security. Are there any downsides when using the VPN feature? Does it affect call quality? Do handsets “talk” directly to each other or does ALL traffic go through the VPN to the PBX?
-
Is the VPN feature an SSL VPN or a IPSEC VPN. Does it use standard 443 ports, meaning it will work with 99% of firewalls by default?
-
By default can users “login” to handsets or does this require extra configuration? Is it complex?
-
How well do people rate Sangoma for things such as technical support and firmware security updates?
I’m sure I will have many more questions as I dig deeper but would appreciate any feedback from the community at this stage.
Thanks
