Re: Does H460.18 / 19 support in GnuGK 2.3 mean that Tandberg VCS Expressway is no longer required?

Hi Robert,

since you want to use H.460.18/19 for firewall traversal, you don't
need GnuGks old proxy mode section. Just use

[Gatekeeper::Main]
Fortytwo=42

[RoutedMode]
GKRouted=1
EnableH46018=1

H.460.18 will allow your Polycoms behind a firewall to connect to your
GnuGk server. Make sure that GnuGk is on a public IP and can reach the
outside IPs you want to call, just like your border proxy would need to
be.

Regards,
Jan
