# What are the IP and firewall settings for the sipgate app?

In most cases, the sipgate app will work without any further configuration of routers and firewalls. However, in corporate networks in particular, it may be necessary to make adjustments and configure allow rules. Below we have listed all gateways and ports to which the sipgate app requires a connection.

Regardless of this, the internet connection must meet the following requirements in order to enable uninterrupted telephony:

* A bandwidth of at least 100-400 kbit/s in download/upload is required.
* The response time should be faster than 270 ms, otherwise you will see an offline message in the client and cannot place calls.
* The sipgate app uses QoS via prioritized packet transmission (DSCP 46) (Expedited Forwarding - EF)

**For accounts on sipgate classic**

**Calling - call setup (without audio)**

Below is an overview of domain + port + protocol used by the sipgate app for communication:

* [gateway.clinq.com](http://gateway.v2.clinq.com/) + Port: 443 + TCP (call setup)
* api.q.clinq.com + Port 443 + TCP (negotiate codecs etc. before call acceptance)
* socket.clinq.com + Port 443 + TCP (CLINQ client↔Google server connection)
* [ws-eu.pusher.com](http://ws-eu.pusher.com/) + PORT 443 + TCP (CLINQ client↔Pusher server connection)
* The Google IP ranges can be found [here](https://www.gstatic.com/ipranges/cloud.json).

For a typical home router, domains should normally be allowed without additional configuration. However, in especially restrictive corporate networks that block many domains and IPs, it may be necessary to speak with the network admin and ask them to allow certain domains and ports.

**Calling - call accepted with audio**

* IP range + UDP + port range 10,000 - 60,000 (audio)

When using the sipgate app, the IP address of the VoIP device (visible on the web under "My telephony") may differ from the IP address of the desktop on which the app is running. This is because SIP registration does not take place directly through the client on your desktop, but is carried out via the app's backend services.

The following fixed IP addresses can be used:

```auto
18.153.199.104
18.192.192.27
18.193.158.169
18.195.254.166

#### **sipgate.de** App + Sophos Firewall

In connection with the Sophos Firewall, undesirable behavior such as connection drops or one-sided voice transmission can sometimes occur. The cause is often the way an additional module, the SIP Helper, works, which analyzes VoIP traffic in the firewall. To avoid disruptions, this module should be disabled as follows:

1\. Disable SIP Helper

1. Connect to the firewall via SSH
2. Option **4. Device Console** select
3. Display SIP module status:\
   `system system_modules show`
4. Disable SIP module:\
   `system system_modules sip unload`
5. If needed, re-enable the SIP module:\
   `system system_modules sip load`

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** After disabling the SIP Helper, the VoIP firewall rules must be configured correctly so that communication works smoothly.
{% endhint %}

2\. Increase UDP session timeout

1. Connect to the firewall via SSH
2. Option **4. Device Console** select
3. Show current value:\
   `show advanced-firewall`
4. Set timeout value (e.g. 180 seconds):\
   `set advanced-firewall udp-timeout-stream 180`

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Values between 30 and 3600 seconds are allowed.
{% endhint %}

3\. Create a specific firewall rule for VoIP

* **Source Zone:** LAN
* **Source Network:** VoIP devices (e.g. IP phones or phone system)
* **Destination Zone:** WAN
* **Destination Network:** IP addresses or hostnames of the VoIP provider
* **Services:** SIP (port 5060), RTP (e.g. ports 10000–20000)

The rule should be placed as high as possible in the policy order and logging should be enabled.

4\. Enable Quality of Service (QoS) for VoIP

1. Go to **System Services** ➔ **Traffic Shaping** switch
2. Create a new policy, e.g. *"VoIP Priority"*
3. Policy settings:
   * **Policy Type:** Guarantee
   * **Priority:** High
   * **Bandwidth Usage:** Real-Time
   * **Guaranteed Bandwidth:** depending on codec and number of simultaneous calls
4. Assign Traffic Shaping Policy to the VoIP firewall rule

5\. Monitoring & troubleshooting

* Firewall logs (Log Viewer ➔ Firewall)
* Live view (Diagnostics **>** Packet Capture)
