Asterisk In The Cloud...Not Much Luck!

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I have an Amazon instance of Asterisk 1.6 up and running. It is FreePBX 2.5. I configured an extension ok.
However I cannot register a softphone. I am trying 3CX and Mizu on both my Android phone and my PC.

On the Asterisk server:

[root@ip-10-2-XX-XXX asterisk]# netstat -nap | grep asterisk
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5038 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2114/asterisk
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5038 127.0.0.1:34159 ESTABLISHED 2114/asterisk
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5060 0.0.0.0:* 2114/asterisk
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:4569 0.0.0.0:* 2114/asterisk
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 6727 2114/asterisk /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl

It appears to be listening for SIP… (I’ve obfuscated the IP for obvious reasons)

I am trying to register 3CX and Mizudroid from my HTC Inspire Android phone with no luck.

I have tried the asterisk -rvvvvvvvvv
and
sip show settings
sip set debug on

I do not see anything happening while I tried to register a phone? I have tried registering the softphones from my home network PC, and from my Android phone using WiFi or 4G with no luck.

I can ping the server from my home network PC, and from my Android phone using WiFi or 4G.

I also tried running ‘tcpdump -i any’ from the server and did not see any packets when my softphone attempts to register.

My 4G and home DSL provider is AT&T.

Any ideas on how to further troubleshoot this?

I’d appreciate it.

If the packets aren’t showing up in a tcpdump, then it is definitely not an Asterisk issue. Amazon’s cloud services have default firewalls, I believe. You should probably look to see if you can turn it off or at least punch UDP holes in it for 5060 SIP and 10000-20000 for RTP.

I already have those FW ports open? And I really don’t know how to turn it off all together?

I opened all UDP ports and now I can register my phones.

Thanks,

If you start asking questions, FreePBX people will tell you their software should never be used on the internets.
FreePBX 2.5 has so many security holes it is not even funny. Your box will be owned in less than an hour.
