Hi,
I am trying to run the SER as an outbound proxy. Unfortunately I have some problems. I have used the nathelper/rtpproxy with a customized ser.conf and the result is that the clients behind NAT are making outbound calls with no problems. The audio is two-way and all seems best, but when I try to react a client behind NAT I can not. It is registered in the SIP Proxy, but I can not dial it.
My scenario is: SER with MySQL authorization on the first PC and SER with nathelper/rtpproxy for outbound proxy on second PC.
Could someone give me some hint as I can not solve this problem. The Outbound Proxy SER version is:
version: ser 0.9.3 (i386/linux)
flags: STATS: Off, USE_IPV6, USE_TCP, DISABLE_NAGLE, USE_MCAST, DNS_IP_HACK, SHM_MEM, SHM_MMAP, PKG_MALLOC, FAST_LOCK-ADAPTIVE_WAIT
ADAPTIVE_WAIT_LOOPS=1024, MAX_RECV_BUFFER_SIZE 262144, MAX_LISTEN 16, MAX_URI_SIZE 1024, BUF_SIZE 65535

#
# simple quick-start config script including nathelper support
 
# This default script includes nathelper support. To make it work
# you will also have to install Maxim's RTP proxy. The proxy is enforced
# if one of the parties is behind a NAT.
#
# If you have an endpoing in the public internet which is known to
# support symmetric RTP (Cisco PSTN gateway or voicemail, for example),
# then you don't have to force RTP proxy. If you don't want to enforce
# RTP proxy for some destinations than simply use t_relay() instead of
# route(1)
#
# Sections marked with !! Nathelper contain modifications for nathelper
