Long ago, Nostradamus foresaw that on 10/15/2012 04:01 PM, [email protected] would write: > A follow-up question, why would I need an SIP proxy? If you can call > "[email protected]" without the proxy, in what situations would a proxy be useful? > When you have company SIP phones/software behind a firewall, you generally need a SIP proxy as the authorized gateway. Also, when you are behind NAT (as with a typical home router) with more than one SIP phone, a SIP proxy can help with compatibility with [email protected] that doesn't handle that well. Ekiga.net does not provide SIP proxy, so you have to set your router to forward incoming SIP/RTP connections to your single ekiga instance. (Diamondcard essentially provides "proxy" service to landlines and works fine with multiple ekiga instances.) With something like asterisk running at home behind NAT, it provides a single point of contact for incoming calls, and routes them to the appropriate private IP.
