How To Configure Asterisk To Only Accept SIP From Kamailio@localhost But Exchange RTP On All Interfaces?
I have a setup with asterisk-11.7.0 and kamailio-4.1.1. I am following the setup guide at http://kb.asipto.com/asterisk:realtime:kamailio-4.0.x-asterisk-11.3.0-astdb . I want to run asterisk and kamailio on the same server, with SIP realtime configuration
(MySQL database) so that kamailio authenticates and then forwards the registration to asterisk on localhost. The setup calls for asterisk to be configured to listen for SIP traffic on all interfaces, on a nonstandard port (I chose 5080). It also calls for blanking of the password for the SIP peer (in my case, a softphone), so that it will not request for authentication again. I have managed to make a call with working audio from the softphone to an extension on asterisk through kamailio.
My concern is that asterisk is left listening for SIP through all interfaces and with no SIP passwords. I want to secure the setup against directed traffic to the asterisk UDP port (5080), that bypasses the kamailio process. I tried setting bindaddr7.0.0.1 so asterisk will only listen for SIP traffic on localhost, but this has the side effect of also removing audio – the call appears to be successful on the softphone and on the asterisk logs, but no audio is actually heard. My theory is that the RTP traffic is being sent to kamailio instead of the softphone.
How can I set up asterisk so that it can send RTP anywhere but reject any SIP traffic that does not come from the kamailio process on localhost?

Hi Alex,

If You bind asterisk to 127.0.0.1 I think the media connection is set for this IP. Your Softphone can not reach the correct 127.0.0.1
(localhost is everywhere).
I would suggest, You setup asterisk on eth0 address or 0.0.0.0. In the sip.conf You could secure Your setup with
deny = 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit = Your-LAN-Adress This way asterisk accepts SIP from Your box only.
HTH,

It is the LAN address of Your Server, where asterisk and kamailio are running. The permit entry allows communication between kamailio and asterisk. Why would You change this address? Maybe I don’t understand Your setup.
