Hello,

I’m trying to use a SIP trunk service and the provider ask me to have the IP address of the contact header as my public IP and not as my private one, how can I do it?

See attached the SIP invite where a.b.c.d is the SIP server IP and x.y.z.w is my public address:

sipINVITE sip:144@ a.b.c.d SIP/2.0

Look at parameters like localnet, externip, and the stun related parameters.

Also consider choosing a better SIP to PSTN gateway provider as any competent one should be able to give you a standard configuration for accessing them from Asterisk,
