Hi Varun,

 

A simple approach would be using PPTP if your clients are windows based. You
can then create the VPN entries and dial VPN connection using win32 api. 

You need to create the connection in a way that Remote Gateway is not used
by default so that on your VPN router you can block anything but your sip
servers and termination IP addresses.

If you set VPN connection not to use the default gateway on remote, you will
also need win32 api to alter the routes on client so that VoIP traffic will
go through VPN and everything else will go through local internet
connection.

 

This way all you need to do is install either a Cisco router on your server
side or a software based VPN solution and the rest will work without
changing your server set up.

 

Regards

Syd

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

A VPN solution would work in this case. On the plus side, is it will not
require changes on your soft switch set up, but you will need to make sure
your client set up handles the VPN traffic correctly. It is widely being
used for such purposes.

TLS/SRTP is not guaranteed.   Since SRTP is still RTP, it is distinguishable
by the filters so even if you get TLS to penetrate the filters there is a
big possibility that you won't get any audio.   You have to find a way to
mangle the RTP packets in some way that they won't be recognized by the
filters.  And so far, the only way it can be done is through proprietary
means.

Hi Joegen,

So using TLS/SRTP in Pjsip will resolve the issue. Will it be a right
choice. Can you guide me something more on this implementation. What are the
limitations which you have tried to point out in the your reply in using TLS
/SRTP. 

Thanks ....

Ravi

In countries that are blocked (mostly in middle east), they are using deep
penetration packet analyzers for both SIP and RTP.  So changing the ports
wont usually work.  You might get away with a TLS/SRTP combo but this is an
end to end requirement limiting the softphone to only work with providers
that support both.   Another option would be to install SBC's with
proprietary encryption support within the blocked country and in another
location where SIP is allowed.   This would hide SIP and RTP from the
filters.  OpenSBC for example works with grandstream proprietary CBCom
encryption and is tested to bypass these types of blockage.

Hello Ravi,

  I guess someone might have asked this before: is SIPS also blocked?

Hi All,

In some countries SIP is blocked means our softphones are not working. Is
there any way which can be used to reslove this issue. some peoples are
suggesting VPNs but can,t it be like if we do some encryption of our SIP
traffic.

Please if any body can give  a real solution then it would be a great help.
