Using CSipSimple With OBi

Just curious.
Has anyone got my method of bypassing Sip2Sip to work?
azrobert,
Yes it works for me on my local home network. I plan to check it out later over the internet when I'm away from home.
Those are good instructions you posted on how to setup CSipSimple and the incoming routing for the OBi.
I think cpetro is experiencing some router problems that are hard to pin down.
Edit: I did test the direct ip one stage dialing over the internet. I got it to work over the internet using wifi, over 3G data the call connected but had audio problems. I need to study it some more to possibly find a solution.
Over wifi the key setting calling my network was setting CSipSimple to use a STUN server. I also tried ICE and ICE+STUN and neither setting. CSipSimple worked with a STUN server. Over 3G I also tried those settings but had audio problems. My OBi was not setup to use a STUN server on its side of the incoming call. I ran the wifi test over a public wifi hotspot at my local Safeway grocery store.

I think that I tried something similar when I first tried using CSipSimple with OBI, but I cannot remember the exact details of my tests. I think that I had audio problems. You are right, it would be better if we could have direct calling instead of via sip2sip - less latency etc. Now that you have sparked this subject back to life, others seem to be coming forward with some good ideas.
When I get time, I will have another go using your setup and maybe experiment with STUN / ICE etc.

I'm very pleased to report that I've been successful setting up incoming/outgoing GV calls on 3g/4g/wifi with CSipSimple through sip2sip! ;D ;D ;D Thanks again!
I'm able to keep all the ALG firewall stuff enabled and I only had to forward the SP2 UserAgent port on my router. It's a D-Link DGL-4500 if anyone cares to know. Battery life on my Galaxy Note 2, as expected, is suffering now. When I figure out how to get TCP keepalives working with sip2sip I should be better off.
Everyone I showed it to is envious! This Obi is a fantastic device to tinker with. Now I get to buy a cordless phone setup for my house and a 64gb microsdxc card to store these auto-recorded calls! ;)

There has been some interest in a feature like this. The concept could be a nice work around for those in need of this feature.

I finally got around to more testing. I find exactly the same as hwittenb in reply #40.
One odd thing: I have a very simple CSipSimple account that I use to make my cell phone into a wifi phone + cell phone when at home. This is described in "Using Any OBi as a Home PBX" and is great for picking up calls via the OBi as well as via the cell network. When using STUN settings for the separate test account for this testing, my simple "wifi" account would not work. This was the case even when I disabled STUN in the "wifi" acoount.
The problem seems to be our old problem of OBi using the external router address in some circumstances even when it does not need to. Deleting the STUN settings in my CSipSimple main settings menu solved my problem for the "wifi" account.
