[Freeswitch-users] Default vs Public context

[Nathan Neulinger]

Which profile did you connect to with XLite - i.e. if you connected to the :5080 port, it will get you the public 
context, which is what you'd want for an unauthenticated external user, not an internal authenticated registration.

The public vs default is essentially a firewall/gatekeeper to prevent a public/inward SIP call from being able to "dial" 
an extension such as "1###-###-####" and make a toll call. You also might have a setup where your extensions are not 
supposed to be publicly accessible.

Make sure you're connecting XLite to :5060 or other port that is mapped to your default sip profile.
