Scenario: Reverse Proxy, TURN and SBC in a DMZ

Here we would like to give an overview of the necessary ports and protocols for Reverse Proxy, TURN and SBC in the DMZ.

Firewall Configuration

• Before you can setup your Firewall you have to read the book Reverse Proxy.

SIP Trunk with Media-Relay, TURN Server in DMZ, 3rd-party SIP phones that dont support TURN)	RTP (udp/16384-32767, udp/50000-50299) • needed if you want to use RTP instead of TURN to inside. (eg. SIP Trunk with Media-Relay, TURN Server in DMZ)	/	/	RTP (udp/16384-32767, udp/50000-50299) • needed if you want to use RTP instead of TURN to DMZ. (eg. SIP Trunk with Media-Relay, TURN Server in DMZ)	RTP (udp/xxx) • xxx are the negotiated ports in context of the outgoing sip/udp connection. The ports depend on your SIP Provider • not needed if RTP from inside to WAN is allowed directly and no media-relay is enabled)

Port Forwardings

If you have to use port forwardings often some of the needed ports are also needed by other systems (eg. Microsoft Exchange OWA access via tcp/443). If you run into this problem you have to forward the port to the reverse proxy and create rules (based on hostname) inside the reverse proxy to forward the traffic to the correct system. If you have multiple external ip addreses you can also use a separate ip address per system. See also Possible scenarios if port 443 is already in use.
