[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH offering SRTP on Re-INVITE

After review with the zoiper team, it looks like this re-invite is trying to force srtp, while using UDP, something which is generally bad security practice, and because of this, something that zoiper does not support.  If you wish to create an SRTP call with zoiper you should do so at the start of the call, and using TLS for signaling for security.
