Hi, I have successfully setup some mikrotik hotspots, and want authenticated clients to use sip softphones while connected to the hotspots. The problem is that, the phones can not register on a sip server on the internet (or outside the router’s network). I think it has to do with the web proxy settings on the mikrotik router but don’t know what to do.
Please has anyone found a way to get sip phones to work while connected to mikrotik hotspots?
You can add ‘ip hotspot ip-binding’ rules to bypass HotSpot authentication for specific hosts, ‘ip-binding’ provides bypass for all services for specific host.
‘walled-garden’ might be used to provide access to specific resources without HotSpot authentication.
Make sure you are not using NAT, as SIP is very influenced by NAT.
Thanks. I’ll try ip-binding and let you know how it goes.
The hotspot will have to be assigning real/routable IP to hotspot users, or SIP/RTP won’t work.
