Ekiga.net fails to interoperate with non-ekiga SIP clients behind NAT
Last modified: 2020-06-06 16:29:14 UTC
The following bugs detail a buggy behavior with ekiga.net WRT non-ekiga SIP clients: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2412241&group_id=143636&atid=756076 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ekiga/+bug/294994 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=535796 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19328 https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4259 To quote a few snippits: > The cause is a bad configuration of ekiga.net proxy: > https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2412241&group_id=143636&atid=756076 > The Ekiga client seemingly uses out-of-band STUN to discover the SIP binding, > which is a flawed approach failing silently in certain NAT configurations. ... > I reverse my stance from the earlier comments The modification of transport > address in Via may cause interoperability problems with proxies that > implement support for RFC 3581 and rely on the specified behavior for > NAT-aware policies. > > The restriction imposed by the proxy is arbitrary.

Thanks a lot for consolidating the reports, Jermey. I can also confirm that I cannot connect to my ekiga.net account but I can successfully connect to the Ekiga-Call Out account I had registered to help support the ekiga project at the time. Would it be a possibility to have correctly configured proxy under another server name like: nat.ekiga.net ?

*** Bug 650715 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Is this something we can fix or that Ekiga needs to?
Ekiga is not under active development anymore: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/-/issues/273 Ekiga saw its last release 7 years ago. The last code commits were 4 years ago. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (and transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active Ekiga development again in the future.
