FreeSWITCH 1.0.0 “Phoenix” has been released. Congratulations to Anthony, Mike, Brian and everybody who has contributed to make this happen! For quite some time I have witnessed FS in the making on irc and the mailinglist. The amount of effort that has gone into creating FS is quite astonishing. It’s all too easy to take great Open Source projects like FreeSWITCH for granted but let’s not forget about the time and money the team has sunk into this project. It would be great if the Community starts helping out (more) with documenting things on the Wiki, bugfixes, testing etc. I look forward to give FreeSWITCH another whirl and see what has changed since last time I messed with it.

It took me a bit too long to figure out how to add a masquerade rule to the server’s firewall so openvpn clients can reach the Intarweb too. So here it is in case you are looking to do the same:

# service iptables stop
# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s <network/cidr> -o <interface> -j MASQUERADE
# service iptables save
# service iptables restart

Example of <ip network/cidr>: 192.168.1.0/24
Example of <ethernet interface>: eth0

You can find the added rule in /etc/sysconfig/iptables
