[Freeswitch-users] External profile & NAT

[ocset]

Thanks Michael

I found my mistake. I had copied the new external5090.xml file into the 
external directory and not into the same directory as external.xml. 
After restating FreeSWITCH, I can now see the new profile:

external5090    profile               sip:mod_sofia at 192.168.0.16:5090    
RUNNING (0)

I have removed the <gateway> section as I presume I don't need these 
gateways to be loaded for my new profile?

<gateways>
<X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="include" data="external/*.xml"/>
</gateways>

Does the external softphone just connect using an existing  user/ext or 
do I now somehow create a gateway that limits which users are exposed to 
the internet.

Thanks again for your guidance.
