Hello everyone. I have this strange use case scenario that i need the communities’ assistance on.
I have yealink sip phones at the remote location behind firewall equipment control by someone else. one of which is an intercom that seats high in the wall for a break room. when everything connects it’s working fine. i can access the phone via ovpn. But sometimes network changes or flickers it cause the phones to break it’s ovpn session and loose services. I don’t want to ask someone to reach it and restart it (inconvenience and could be a liability) when it’s necessary.
So my thought is i want to put a hEX before the sip phone controlling the POE and connects back to my server ovpn since mikrotik equipment are more resilient at reconnecting and other script automations when needed.
since i’m quite new to the vpn world, i need helps on how to configure the hEX to connect back to ovpn server and allow winbox to connect on to it for managing and still let normal internet passing through it to one of the port for the phone to work. i don’t want to pass ovpn connection to one of the port due to security concerns incase someone some how get their hands on the box. so the vpn back to my server is purely just for winbox and the phone will also has to connect its vpn back to the server as usual.
if you have simpler solutions i’m open to listen.
Thanks everyone in advance.
