You'll most likely need port 5060 forwarded in order to receive calls via SIP URI or those forwarded from a DID such as IPKall, so I wouldn't be pleased with removing the port forwarding as the solution. If the only SIP you're doing is a registered connection to a provider, there's probably not an issue.
Hey Ron thanks for your reply, you are obviously more knowledgeable than me in voip matters. I have to admit that I don't know what SIP URI means. I've heard it mentioned a lot but don't know what it is. As far as receiving calls from a DID, do you mean that if someone is trying to call me from a voip DID that I won't receive the call if I don't forward port 5060?
RonR:
A SIP URI is used to call a VoIP endpoint over the Internet. If I knew your IP address, I could call your OBi using a SIP URI : anything@w.x.y.z:5060 (for SP1 or 5061 for SP2).
If you had your own DID (such as an IPKall number), you could have it forwarded to your OBi.
Both of these would probably require having ports 5060 - 5061 forwarded to your OBi.
JTravers:
I use a port different than 5060 (5068, for instance) for IPKall or any other SIP URI, and that has stopped the "asterisk" calls in the middle of the night.
Just be sure to set the appropriate X_UserAgentPort (SP1 or SP2) to the alternate port.
It works for me. Hopefully, you can get it working, too.
