VOIP fails over VPN tunnels
 
When connecting over VPN tunnel, both of my VOIP accounts (from different SIP providers) fail to connect. I've tunneled to a couple different servers, both of which work with VOIP just fine from a workstation.

Has anyone successfully connected VOIP over VPN?

After a search of the forum, I'm surprised to be the only one reporting this, because it's been broken as long as I remember, and would seem to be a somewhat common need. It has failed with multiple different voip providers, and vpn providers, strongly suggesting the there's an issue on the client platform side.

Is there any way to see a detailed log of why the VOIP connection fails? I'm not sure how to go about diagnosing this.

I'm glad to see that the bug has been reported. It's a couple years old and still not resolved, so in the meantime, are there any workarounds?

Someone posted a suggestion for another app. Now I've returned to get the name of the app so I can look into that option, and I see that the post is gone. What happened? Can someone tell me what that app was?

Yes, do read the afore-mentioned bug page, and comments 14, 16 & 25 in particular.

Having no luck in getting voip/sip to work over openvpn (N810).
I read the posts in https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1860 and applied the work arounds, outline in #25 and also #29 and #31. Here is the error read out I get when I run a test in Openvpn Gui test option:
Code:

/etc/openvpn/nokia.up tun0 1500 1542 192.168.66.6 192.168.66.5 init
script failed: could not execute external program
Exitng

Here is my nokia.up script file in /etc/openvpn
Code:

#!/bin/sh

for acct in $(ls -d /var/lib/gconf/apps/telepathy/mc/accounts/sip* | while read
i; do echo $(basename $i); done); do\

  # Force the VPN SIP account to bind itself to the
  # VPN address we have just been allocated.
  mc-account set $acct string:local-ip-address=$4

  # Use the VPN host's address as the SIP proxy,
  # since we can't count on any other being reachable.
  #mc-account set $acct string:proxy-host=vpn-host.example.com

done

Looking for help, thanks

Re: VOIP fails over VPN tunnels
 
I looked at the bug report - you want the bits to look like
rwxr-xr-x, or at least rwxr--r--
(note the 'x'). chmod 0755 will give you rwxr-xr-x (or just use chmod u+x)

The 'x' is the execute bit for files.

Thanks, seems to work!
