Sounds to me that the request isn’t reaching Asterisk machine, so the Asterisk configuration is irrelevant.

I notice you either didn’t read, or ignored the README-SEROUSLY-bestpractices document, but that is not the problem here and actually makes it easier for you to connect.

whats the “READ ME SERIOUSLY” document?

The document that should be supplied with every copy of Asterisk and appears, prominently, in the top level directory of the source distribution. It has been there since, at least, 1.6.1.0.

E.g. svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/bran … ctices.txt

It first appeared over three years ago;
