Hi everyone,
I have deployed dozens of FreePBXs in the last 4-5 years, versions 13,14 now 15 and responsive firewall has never worked properly for me. All PBXs are on a static IP address and no physical firewalls in between the PBX and the remote user. For the remote phones to work I always have to add the end user public IP or the remote subnet in the Firewall>Networks tab otherwise their phone will never get registered. This has been a real problem for me especially for remote users with dynamic IP address from their Internet providers. As long as their IP does not change their phones are fine. As soon as that IP changes for them, their phone gets locked out of the PBX. What am I missing here? Besides this problem (and Zulu never works too) FreePBX has been an awesome platform for me. Even with the Responsive Firewall not working right I still wont replace FreePBX for anything in the world. My workaround for the dynamic IP client side is to setup VPN routers to the end users and register the phones tru the VPN tunnel.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
