be a nightmare, so they are a no-no. Now you're throwing
in too many variables (Aggressive, Main, set ups, different
equipment). Not to mention the overhead it would add to an
SBC.

I ramble on, define tunneling. Tunneling as in VPN? If the
concern is security, TLS is suitable from the managed PBX
side as we can firewall trusted CIDRs on the firewall to
prevent recording/tampering.

If you meant VPN tunneling... Would only work on a softphone
because I have YET to see any VoIP device (phone, ATA, FXO,
FXS) have any parameters to set up a tunnel. So I am unsure
how one would truly call a VoIP Tunnel in a VPN sense, any
kind of true tunneling. (Tunnel in Tunnel maybe, been a
while since I dove into CCIP/IE like material.
