Vodafone Sure Signal - anyone managed to get this to work?

Hi there,
I’ve got a Vodafone sure signal to connect up to my network I’ve put in all the port forwarding but it still doesn’t seem to be working. I’ve pasted the extract from vodafone’s webpage regarding this:

All traffic between the Sure Signal and the Vodafone network, with the exception of the DNS and synchronisation traffic described below, is carried within a VPN tunnel. The VPN is established by the Sure Signal on initial setup and is successfully created if the @ LED on the Sure Signal housing is lit - the LED flashes during VPN setup.

The following firewall rules will be required as a minimum to allow the VPN to be established between the Sure Signal and the Vodafone network. These rules assume a stateful firewall, otherwise connections will be required in both directions. 
Some standard DSL routers may need changes to built in firewalls.
Enterprise or more complicated domestic IP setups may need wider changes which will depend on their environment and is not within the scope of Vodafone support.

seems like it don’t need port forwarding at all… just simple masquerading

I have the rule:
chain=srcnat action=masquerade src-address=192.168.0.0/32 out-interface=eth1

Already in place - but it doesn’t seem to pass with that.

did you try to sniff that device’s traffic?..

Not yet. I’ll try and get that done today - I didn’t have much time yesterday to play with the unit.

here are the results from the packet sniffer: (sorry not sure how to export them)

nice, but… what are those addresses? :smiley:

Lol – very sorry about that - I wasn’t thinking what I was doing.

here we go:

Ok this is strange I just restarted all my VOIP phones and the vodafone unit just started working without any issues?! Any idea why?

reboot helps frequently :smiley:

“have you tried turning it off, and then on again?” :slight_smile:
