[SOLVED]Recent VOIP disconnections

[keeka]

Some time after upgrading to 25.1.9, I seem to be seeing VOIP disconnections when call duration exceeds approx 900 seconds.
Prior to this all calls, including some lasting over an hour, were uninterrupted.
I cannot accurately correlate the problem with the upgrade as there were no calls of sufficient duration for 2 weeks.

Were there any changes in 25.1.9 that might be related?

Changing firewall optimization from conservative to normal seems to have cured this. Now, with udp.multiple of 60s rather than 900s, I have managed calls over 1 hour and no interruptions. It seems counter intuitive and runs counter to advice re VOIP and NAT. I have since found this post, describing the same issue with the same resolution.

After several weeks on and off troubleshooting the problem, it turned out to be nothing to do with opnsense or my pbx. The issues were with the other end's fttp/voip setup! Consider the above a red herring.
