Post subject: Solution is available
I have finally developed a reliable and simple solution to create a VPN connection and get
Vonage
to work here in Doha.
Simply you can install a special router before the
Vonage
adaptor, which creates a VPN tunnel for a clear voice quality, This have been working for me and my friend for 3 weeks now.
Contact me at this e-mail if you need the details

Post subject: Loss of VOIP in UAE
FYI,
as of yesterday, Etisalat has blocked the SIP for
VoIP
in UAE. Any suggestions on how to get around this problem?

I understand UAE is negotiating a Free trade Agreement with the US. I wonder if
Vonage
can take this up with the authorities as it appears this violates free trade. It may even violate WTO rules.

Vonage
doesn't even officially support the use of thier adapters in UAE. I suspect they are not going to get involved here.

Post subject: Want to discuss the latest VoIP issues and VPN
Unfortunately, it looks like the PUC took an angle that forces people in Belize to yet again pay more for thier phone services unless they don't have a phone number. When you have a business in Belize you need to be able to have a US number to call that you have answered in Belize. By requiring a license to have an accessible number, and by forcing us to pay for a higher preimum service, the PUC has forced people to pay more again. The main reason is that they want to get the tax money and license money for the calls.
I was talking to PUC officials on the phone a few months ago about wireless licensing, and they said that if you had proof of acceptance (or something like that) for using a service from another country and they were ok with it being used in Belize, that Belize was ok with it. Now this doesn't necessarily seem to be true for
VoIP
calls because it always comes down to money and bending the people over in Belize. Based upon that statement that was given to me, it would seem that if
Vonage
said that they were ok with their service being used in Belize, that Belize should be ok with it too. But now it looks like this is changed by this decision.
It also looks like the VPN solution is the only way to go to gain some level of control over your life again. With a VPN connection, your packets are encrypted, and also travel over a different port than
VoIP
traffic while on the BTL network. This means that BTL will not have access to your data, and will have no control over your usage of the Internet. If they can't see your data, then they can't block your data. Beat them at their own game.... If you can't beat em (and everybody who lives in Belize knows you can't beat BTL), then join em and play the game right back. They deserve it. What about VPN blocking? Well, that would just be downright dastardly wouldn't it? VPN is a valid business usage of the internet for anybody requiring privacy of their data transmissions and should never come under the same blocking scrutiny of
VoIP
.
I know this works because I have a
Vonage
softphone on my computer, and use a VPN client on my laptop to connect to work. When I am on the VPN my softphone works, and when I am not it does not work. The only thing is that I want to set up my regular adapter devices over a VPN link between my Belize connection and my US ISP using Linksys WRV54G Routers, but I have not set this sort of thing up before and need somebody with experience in this department to contact me at 727-742-1810 to walk me through it. I am a technical person as I am a software programmer and already have some basic understanding of what is going on here. I just need to see the settings working once and I will be good.
Anybody got what I need? And I am not going to give somebody I don't know $100 over the Internet for this information.

make sure to add in this post that you want $100 for a word document file, way to make $$$ of others misery...
BTW My fiance's
vonage
in dubai just stopped working today (PAP2 adapter), been working fine there for 2 years then bam today it got blocked by Etisalat. I dunno if I should try to create a VPN or what is the next step to take, for those of you in this same situation like me the best VPN router is the Linksys WRV54G, I plan on getting one today in the states and configuring it then sending it off to dubai, hope this helps!
