SIP blocked countries issue. Do any body havethesolution?

Hi Joegen and Syd,

Mr. Syd can you tell me any VPN name which would be suitable for it. Can you
provide me some implementation details too. It would be a better solution if
you have already used VPN solutions in such cases and you ca guide me in the
implementation.

Mr. Joegen I got your point, according to your discussion I have an
implentation in my mind. How will it be if we use some encrypted Tunnelling
in this. The summary of the implemantaion is as below. Please see it and do
tell me the limitations of the model if you feel beacuse then i will be
working on it. All suggestions are invited:

I will be using the ecryption like blowfish and deffie hellman key exchange.
The architecture would be like that the program would support two modes one
is server mode running on the Softswitch in my case and one is client end
mode running on the softphone end in my case. The server end program would
be running as always as the server is always up and waiting for the clients
to setup the tunnel using the secret key sharing using deffie hellman algo
then they the further communication would be agreed on some defined ports
hence making the tunnel then the further communication would go through this
tunnel. The packets in this tunnel are too encrypted by using the blowfish
encryption. Now as we know SIP signalling is through 5060 port and RTP
through 4000 port but now using our program the ports would be changed after
encryption and two new tunnels would be formed one for SIP and other for RTP
by the user end and server end by using deffie hellman.

So I think this model can be used for SIP communication without any need of
VPN overhead and SIP blocked areas would not be able to catch the type of
communication.

Please anyone who goes through this mail please if you see any loop holes in
this model. Kindly let me know immediately because it would be a great help
and will be appreciable.
An especially mr. Joegen and Mr Syd I expect you some special comments on
this.

So please find anu bugs and provide me any suggestion for making this system
more robust then I will provide a complete documented design and
architecture of this model to be revised again. and one day i hope we will
have a god solution added to pjsip in this regard.

Thanks and Regards:
Ravi
