pfsense multi-site VPN VOIP deployment
- by sysconfig
have main office pfsense firewall configured like this:
local networks
WAN - internet
LAN - local network
VOIP - IP phones
need to connect remote offices (multi-users) and single remote users (from home)
use IPSEC or OpenVPN to build "permanent" automatically connecting
tunnels from remote location to main location.
in remote locations, network will look like this:
WAN - internet
LAN - local network multiple users
VOIP - multiple IP phones
in order for the IP phones to work they have to be able to "see" the VOIP network and the
VOIP server back at the main office
for single remote users ( like from home ) the setup will be similar but only one phone
and one computer
so questions:
best way to tie networks together? IPSEC or OpenVPN
can this be setup to automatically connect ?
any issues/suggestions with that design/topology ?
QoS or issues with running the VOIP traffic over a VPN
throughput, quality etc.. obviously depends on remote locations connection to some degree
