3CX used to forward VoIP calls to a country where VoIP is filtered

[Steve Christe]

Hi,

Maybe someone can help me. I had to move a 3CX from Europe to a country where the VoIP packets are filtered. It does not affect me that much, as most of the connections are landlines or Portech GSM trunks. The only problem I have to solve is that a network operator forwards to my 3CX a range of European numbers. Of course, if this operator forwards the calls to the actual IP address of the 3CX, the packets never reach, as they are filtered.

But I still have a home in Europe, which is physically connected to my Network with a permanent VPN tunnel managed by 2 Cisco 5605 ASA. It means that I can access the 3CX from my European home through a VPN tunnel (internal IP addresses). In that case, the packets are not filtered.

My question: Does someone know if it's possible to install a second 3CX, but without licence, and link it to my 3CX. The only goal is to forward the calls to the European numbers to my 3CX, which is not in Europe. As I don't use more than 4 lines, I think that I don't need a licence for the second 3CX.

Thanks for your help.

You cannot install 3CX without a licence, the licence is mandatory. You will need either of the below:https://www.3cx.com/ordering/pricing/

FYI the Free and Standard licences (upto 16SC) are currently one in the same.

Thanks for your feedback. But if I install the free licence on the slave 3CX. Can I synchronize my 2 3CX servers through the VPN tunnel, just in order to link the European numbers to my main 3CX? Will it work?
